Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, while minimalist, were clean and comfortable, although lacking a good view. The location was convenient, being close to the main plaza and various restaurants, but not the most comfortable. The service was satisfactory, with amenities like car hire available. The dining options were limited but with some vegan dishes offered. Despite some minor flaws, it was a decent choice for a stay in Providence.
My stay at this hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, with nice queen beds and a roomy bath, offering a clean and uncluttered atmosphere for a comfortable rest. The location is perfect for exploring downtown Providence, within walking distance to restaurants, waterway, and colleges. The boutique hotel experience was enhanced by the always-helpful and friendly staff. However, the lack of a closet in the rooms was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall positive experience.
I was quite impressed with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although it required a bit of creativity to find places to hang clothes. The mold smell was a downside for sure. The location was unbeatable, providing easy access to the vibrant PVD nightlife, but it also meant having to deal with some bar noise on weekend nights.
Staying above the dance club had some drawbacks like the lack of certain amenities in the room, but the location is ideal for those attending events at the Convention Centre or enjoying downtown Providence. The staff and boutique hotel experience were highlights despite some room deficiencies.
I had no problem with window A/C units; the room was clean and uncluttered, with a very comfortable bed. The rooms are compact but beautiful. The hotel is great within walking distance to restaurants, waterway, and colleges in Providence. The dining experience was at Faust, and there were savory pies. The hotel has car hire and housekeeping services.
I had such a cozy stay at the hotel, with a beautifully designed King room on the 2nd floor that was both vintage and modern. The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the attention to detail in the room's decor was impressive. However, the room was a bit small and lacked some essentials like a drawer. The location was absolutely perfect, with Brown University, RISD, and historic Providence just a short walk away, surrounded by great dining options. The service, including car hire and housekeeping, was top-notch. The dining experience, from staff recommendations to the Small Point Café, was delightful. Overall, a great value for what you get.
