My husband and I are coming in for the folk festival. We aren%26#39;t campers, so we were going to stay at a hotel nearby...
We have reservations at the Pineapple Inn, but have read mildly bad reviews here and wanted to see if there were any nearby spots you could recommend instead? We are willing to drive a bit (less than an hour, preferred), and are not particularly picky.
Any advice would be great!

Where to stay for Folk Festival?
Hey, Melissa
Probably a good idea to cancel the Pineapple Inn and stay further away from Newport in a better place. For about the same costs as the Pineapple, I was going to suggest staying at the Sea Whale Motel or Motel 6 in that price range, but both appear to be booked for that weekend. Staying in Warwick wouldn%26#39;t be too bad. There%26#39;s plenty of lodging choices there as well as plenty of places to eat. The Homestead Suites for $75 per night would be somewhere to consider. It comes with a kitchenette. Warwick is about a 30 minute drive to Newport.

I should note that The Homestead Suites is located inside a business park, but I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;re only looking for a place to sleep at night. Since you%26#39;ll be staying on a weekend, I%26#39;m sure the park will be very quiet. And it%26#39;s right off Route 95 for your trips to/from Newport.
When is the folk festival and jazz festival. I tried looking it up on the internet, but came up short. Maybe I had the wrong names. Any other big events happening ini mid July other than the Black Ships festival? Thanks!
Due to copyeright issues, they had to change the name. Info can be found at: http://www.folkfestival50.com/
And we decided to stay up in Providence. :)
