This hotel is a throwback to grand hotels. While the furnishings are dated, it had all amenities we needed, including free wi-fi. The junior suite was more than adequate with lots of space to move around and 2 king beds. We were in town for the Providence Marathon and the location was ideal, right across the Burnside park from the... More

My family stayed here while we were on vacation over April. The hotel is average on the outside but once you step inside you are transformed back to the era of 'grand hotels'. It is absolutely gorgeous inside. The staff is very friendly and professional. We booked the king suite and were a little disappointed that the two beds were... More

BLAH, that's the only word I can think of to describe this hotel. The room felt dirty and was in disrepair. The room was drab and dingy and if you walk the carpets in white socks they end up dirty on the bottom like you were walking outside. The location is all it has going for it. Perfect location to...

Hotel has large rooms. The staff is always great. Hotel is located right in the center of downtown and close to the mall. Hotel is historic so the rooms are a little older but they say they are in the remodel state.

We loved this hotel. Excellent location for walking around Providence. Good price too. Got a corner room, big. The seafood restaurant was also excellent (lobster bisque and a seared tuna app). I'll stay here whenever in the area again.
