This past weekend H and I traveled down to Narragansett for a birthday party. Since it was a night time event and the possibility of drinking, we thought it would be nice to stay nearby. Always thinking about an hour-plus drive home takes some of the fun out of a party.
H found the Tower House B&B online. This is their first season, but you wouldn't have known it. They family running it do an excellent job.
We stayed in the Caldwell suite. It is a large bed room, a sitting room, and a large bath. The bedroom was well apointed. The queen size bed was a little soft for me, but I'm comfortable sleeping on packed dirt. The bathroom was large. There was a full tub with a shower head. The water pressure was good and the multi-setting shower head worked wonders.
In the evening they have a beer and wine happy hour in the common area. The only beer served is Narragansett. The new Narragansett is a step up from the Narragansett I enjoyed in college, but it is still a basement beer.
Breakfast consisted of a french toast casserole, eggs Benedict, bacon, sausage, and fruit. I enjoyed the meats and the casserole. H loved the eggs.
From what we saw of them under the snow, the grounds looked nice. The Inn is set back off of the street and has a good sized back yard.
The location is perfect for people to enjoy the ocean. It is one block from the Narragansett town pier. The town beach is a reasonable walk if you are not hauling too much stuff.

The Garrison Inn
For the big V this year we decided to get out of town. On Saturday, the actual V day, H booked us a room at the Garrison Inn in Newburyport, MA.
After taxes the room cost $190. The room was fairly standard fair. The décor was pleasant, but not $200 pleasant. Breakfast came with the room, but breakfast was fancy McDonalds.
The one special thing about the Inn is the location. It is in the heart of the downtown area. All the bars and restaurants are less than a block away.
