Below are reviews of the city of Wakefield, RI from an actual visitor's perspective.
The room was clean, comfortable. The staff was friendly. First of all, Wakefield is close to some of the best beaches in the world. Seriously, as a Navy wife, I have been to beaches from Maine to Florida and Cape Cod to San Diego and Hawaii. RI beaches are the best! Old Wakefield is a very nice little town and very walkable. It has some great little shops and Brickley's ice cream is awesome. The Green Line Apothecary is wonderful; love the combination of traditional and naturopathic products. There are some great restaurants in town and many more nearby. All in all, a very pleasant place to stay.
Close to Newport.
Wakefield is a very authentic New England town. Love the local bars, eateries and glass blowing place!
Area is historic, quaint and close to the beach!
Pretty cute town. Great food.
