The Spotlight on Rumford Motor Inn

Affordable Comfort Just Outside Downtown Providence

Classic and no-frills, Rumford Motor Inn offers a clean and budget-friendly stay in Rumford, Rhode Island—just a short drive from downtown Providence and major concert venues. With free Wi-Fi, cable TV (including HBO), and essential in-room amenities like microwaves and mini-fridges, it’s a practical base for fans looking to catch a show without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

This motel is just about 4 miles from Brown University and downtown Providence, meaning you’re a quick drive or ride-share away from some of the city’s top live music venues. With a 24-hour front desk, you can check in late after a show, and the area stays relatively quiet—ideal for winding down post-concert. On-site parking and pet-friendly policies add another layer of convenience for traveling fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends on a budget
  • Solo travelers attending a bucket-list show
  • Couples opting for a low-key music weekend
  • Fans looking for a quiet night’s rest after loud crowds
  • Budget-conscious music lovers

Food and Drink Options

While the motel doesn’t offer an on-site restaurant, there are vending machines available for late night snacks. Several local diners and takeout spots are within a short drive, and rooms are equipped with microwaves and refrigerators—perfect for leftovers or midnight munchies.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t the place for on-site parties, but you’re just minutes from downtown Providence, where you’ll find bars, lounges, and live music venues galore. It’s ideal if you want to enjoy the city nightlife, then retreat to a quieter space to crash.

What People Say

  • Travelers love the affordable rates and say it’s a good value for short stays.
  • Easy parking and a quick drive to concerts and campus events get frequent praise.
  • Guests appreciate the in-room microwaves and mini-fridges for convenience.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills motel, so don’t expect luxury touches. Some guests note that the decor is a bit dated, and the lack of an on-site restaurant means planning ahead for meals. But if you're here for the show, it's a solid place to rest your head.

The Bottom Line

Rumford Motor Inn is a smart, budget-conscious base for concert-goers who want to stay close to downtown Providence without the downtown prices.

It was a sleepless night...

Liked: Location was fine, a few shops and simple take out restaurants walking distance. Right outside of providence, 10-15 minutes from down town so easy car trip.It seemed like there might have been security? There was someone in a security uniform that followed the pizza delivery guy to the door.The front desk attendant was frazzled and disorganized but very nice
Disliked: The women at the front desk seemed unsure if the room she gave us a key to was empty or currently occupied, which if it had been occupied could have been awkward.The room was pretty disgusting. It wrecked of urine, there were cigarette burn holes in the sheets. There was also no fitted sheet, just a very stained mattress protector. The towels were stained, full of holes and each one was a different shade of off white. The shower was just a small stall shower and looked like it hadn't been deep cleaned in a long time.The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever been in. Thin, firm and can feel the texture of the springs.
