  • When I lived in Boston, I took the subway (MBTA) down to Rhode Island for a weekend getaway. The one thing that's great about the east coast is the close proximity to so many states. In Rhode Island, I was able to take an Uber around. You don't really need a car to travel around Rhode Island for a weekend. #LifeAtExpedia

We were visiting family in Bristol for the holidays and used Founders Brook as our home base for five nights. The property is close to Portsmouth’s downtown area and a hop over the bridge to Bristol. We had some of the best sleep we’ve had in years and felt very at home. This is the fourth time we have stayed here and each time we notice improvements. Love the complimentary toiletries!!
