The Loom Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
I love the location. Near everything like TF Green but far enough from the really congested and chaotic Providence traffic, road work, drivers, etc. The Cork and Rye just a short walk away is great little restaurant. Always reasonable rates unlike Crown Plaza (goes crazy on weekends) and downtown ...

Sonesta Select Boston Foxborough Mansfield
It is a nice hotel, clean and friendly staff, only complaint is only one door (the front door) was shoveled out, so had to drag bags through feet of snow piles after being told to park out back.

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Providence Airport Warwick
The staff were extremely helpful - easily the best part of the hotel. Also the fact that you can walk from the airport to the hotel, under a covered walkway, in about five minutes. They also offer free shuttle service to local restaurants and stores.
