The whole experience was not as advertised. Our room had a huge stain on the ceiling above the bed. It was disconcerting, as we wondered what had happened. There was a hair on the toilet seat, small dark blood stains on one of the sheets, and old/tired decor. There were paint chips in the room and the walls were paper thin. We made it through the weekend, but will not be returning.

Yes. But toilet was not attached to the floor correctly, and same thing with the toilet seat. Breakfast buffet was free, but very disappointing. However, I would stay there again. Just get breakfast somewhere else. 🤔

Experiment with concealing the fact that customers are an inconvenience. Look up eventually when they arrive at the counter even if that means pausing a super important phone call.

We picked this hotel because it was older and classic looking. The location is pretty close to the main downtown of Providence and the rate wasn't too bad during Brown University's parents weekend. We heard, after our room was booked, that there are homeless people directly outside the hotel. When we arrived, we did see homeless people near the hotel sidewalk and across the street. We learned the church across the street had a soup kitchen and that's why there were homeless people there all the time. They were smoking, a bit loud and we actually saw one person smoking what looked like a crack pipe. We had to walk through them once and that wasn't fun. No one solicited us which was good. Friday night, we learned the hard way that it's a pet friendly hotel because the people across the hallway went out late and left their dog in the house who kept barking at any sound. We called the front desk and the young man wasn't helpful. He said the manager wasn't on duty and gave us 2 different times when the manager would be back the next day. We asked if he could call the people to let them know about their dog and he said he didn't have their phone number. We went to speak with him directly and he wasn't any more helpful. After we left, we called 6 more times and left 2 voicemails for the manager without a return call. We put a complaint into Visa for a 1 night room reimbursement which they'll do if they don't give us a refund. Waiting to see what happens. Don't go to this hotel!

I just wanted to let people know that there is a bunch homeless people standing across the street from the hotel. The hotel had bedsheets with blood stains. It was a few factors that made me feel like it wasn’t a safe or clean place. The staff was friendly.

Checking to in was very fast. Ms. Jade helped me at check-in. She was very welcoming, very professional and took just 10 min to complete my check-in. All staff at reception were wonderful, welcoming with great smile. The room was very quiet, clean and tidy at all time. I slept like a baby in my stay for 5 nights. The cleaning staff are very nice, kind, organized and you will not hear them when they are working and cleaning. Every day there will be fresh fruit/apple juice, delicious cookies, and coffee at the lobby, just serve yourself complementary. The hotel is surrounded with transit/bus stops, few steps from the place mall, convention center, and providence train station. There are many restaurants suit all tastes and there is vault market and grocery store few steps which serves hot international cuisine as well by weight. Providence is a marvelous city and people are very helpful and welcoming.

Stay somewhere else

Staffing, location ( deceiving on map ) & overall customer service is a zero. Important / detrimental meds were locked in the safe in my room for over 12 hours because it malfunctioned & they couldn’t help me until the AM. My ID was in the safe so the manager ( use that term loosely ) wouldn’t opened it until 4 COPS showed up. Mind you I’m a military contractor & over a military ID. Worst hotel in Providence.

The hotel was great! In a great location and many attractions nearby. Only negative side to the hotel was that the street was filled with homeless groups constantly. They don’t bother you, but it made my significant other very uncomfortable, and you had to basically had to walk in the middle of the road to avoid them on both sides. Not much the hotel can do about it, but it is right upon leaving the hotel. The rooms are very clean, and have a vintage feel to them. I must state again that the location is great and you’re near so many great restaurants and bars if that’s what you’re into! I would stay there again for sure. If only they could fix the problem with the lingering folks outside. Staff is great and very accommodating as well.

Check-in person was surprisingly rude. Both to us and the people after us. Hotel might be historic but interior is like a cheap economy hotel. Rug stains, water stains on ceiling, damaged furniture, cheap soap. The “resort fee” is insulting in a hotel like this. The exterior seems to be where homeless people gather. Maybe 20 at any given time. Sign warns you that it will take 30 minutes to get your valet parked car. No other options. .
