Overall, the Nonantum Resort is excellent, with attentive staff, clean rooms, complimentary buffet breakfast, poolside restaurant (lunch/dinner), local entertainment, van shuttle, riverside property grounds (great for families/children) and resort location (about a mile away from town).
The only downside is fairly limited vehicle parking when the hotel is sold-out. Some overflow parking ends up on the grass right in front of first floor rooms on the parking lot side of the Portside building. Unfortunately, for me and others assigned to one of the 3 or 4 first floor rooms, there was/is absolutely no privacy with cars in/out and guests walking on the grass in the front of the rooms. To have any privacy, the (screenless) sliding door curtains and the top/down window blinds need to be drawn which creates a totally dark room.
Anyone assigned a first floor room along the Portside parking lot should be offered some kind of discount/allowance as the location is not ideal. (No other first floor rooms in the Portside building have this privacy issue with cars/guest traffic throughout the day/night).
(A privacy improvement: Install bottom/up shades on the side-sliding window so guests can have privacy, light in the room, and enjoy fresh air vs. having A/C on.)
