Pleasant View Inn

Prime beachfront location: Multiple users highlighted the hotel’s direct access to the beach, with views of the ocean, sunrises/sunsets, and proximity to the pool.

My husband and I just returned from a relaxing week at Pleasant View, having looked forward all winter to returning to a place we have come to think of as our "home away from home." We were treated to gorgeous, clear sunny weather, typical September weather in Rhode Usland. The hotel rooms are clean and very comfortable. Ours faced the ocean and had a small patio . As before, while we had a list of things to do, exploring Westerly and the rest of Rhode Island, we never left PV., savoring the last days of summer by the sea. The sound of the ocean waves is very seductive, as is gazing out at the ocean and miles of unspoiled seashore. The staff at Pleasant View is so kind and helpful. Catherine, at the front desk greeted us on our arrival. Joe Taunton, the General Manager of PV, is a real presence, and greeted us warmly. Other people stopped to say hello to him, clearly return guests. We had delicious meals in the restaurant, prepared by Chef Lenny, and graciously served ny Lum and others. As summer slides into fall, it is tempting to come back soon, as even with diminishing warm weather there are plenty of gorgeous days left to enjoy the seashore. There is much to do in the area in cooler weather. We are looking forward to the opening of the new Westerly Museum of American Impressionism in October, not far from PV. Combining a visit there with more soaking in the joys of Pleasant View by the sea, presents an intriguing draw for us to consider coming back soon, even though we just left. We are already looking at our calendars to plan our return in 2026.

Excellent staff and accommodations . Although the king bed ocean view with balcony was very small, it was clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the restaurant, yoga on the beach , pool and beach front!
