"The complimentary coffee in the lobby was fantastic! The staff and valet workers were friendly! The beds are very comfortable m."

"I had an extremely unpleasant experience at this hotel. If you value yourself, I strongly advise against booking a stay here, particularly for people of color. I had to reserve two nights to take some nice photos for my birthday, which was stated in my initial agreement during the booking process. However, no one mentioned any restrictions until I began taking pictures. Both the managers and the receptionist approached us, insisting that we stop or they would call the police. I was bewildered, questioning whether taking pictures in their premises was prohibited. The receptionist tells me doesn’t matter we should just stop, this was not part of their policy. Ultimately, she demanded an additional $500 to continue our photo session. Feeling I had no choice, I agreed to pay the amount, which surprised her. She then altered her stance again, stating that if I paid the $500 i would only be permitted to take pictures for 45 minutes. At that moment, I realized her actions were rooted in racism against people of color. I had to cease all photography and managed to take a few in my room, I cried throughout the day. The most distressing part of this ordeal was when I attempted to check out; they refused to refund the extra $100 they had held on my account. When I inquired about this, she explained it was because I had taken pictures on their premises. I have traveled all over I never experienced this kind of embarrassment in my whole life."

"Stay was good. No issues. "

"My stay ended on March 2nd, it took until April 24th to have the security deposit refunded to me because they couldn't figure out how to process it. Not particularly professional. The stay itself was not bad, and the place is quite nice, I love the historical aspects of the property, but it could use some fixes/updates. I was in an upstairs bedroom, on both my bedroom door and the bathroom door there was a gap between the door and the door frame, so other guests walking by could see into the room. That made me uncomfortable as a solo female traveler, and should be fixed. It is very nice that they have free parking in downtown Providence (unlike most hotels in this area) but it had snowed a couple days before and the parking lot was plowed in a way that there wasn't enough parking spots."

"The hotel itself is a very nice property, lobby and rooms are quite attractive, spacious and well-equipped. Amenities and service, not so much -- couldn't get a room assigned at 2:30, sent to a room that had not been cleaned, no coffee in the lobby before 6:00, none of which were extreme but cumulatively giving a sense that this hotel is not as nice as it could be and should be. It started as a high-end downtown option and has slowly but surely become a good but by no means exceptional hotel. Location is very nice, downtown Providence and within a few blocks of many restaurants and other amenities."

"No breakfast. They charged me 5 dl. for a small cup of coffee. To old for the price. "

"Very friendly staff. Clean and spacious rooms"

"The most helpful and friendly staff! I stayed for the Providence marathon and they helped in so many ways. Every staff member was kind and accommodating despite the popular travel times making it even more busy than usual"

"I wouldn't reccomend staying here as a female solo traveler or couple. Although most things are fairly similar to the pictures, it is true that you need to read reviews carefully and know what to look for. There were strange sounds coming from some of the rooms that were somewhat concerning. The lock on the door to our room was not secure. The bathrooms were very well out of shape and provided little to zero privacy. If you plan to shower, bring a bathing suit as there is no curtain with a see-through glass door the second you walk into the bathroom. The kitchen was not well maintained, and looked as though it had not been cleaned in a long time. The cherry on top of the experience was that although there were no bedbugs, it was apperant the sheets had not been changed since the last guests with hair and old skin in the bed. I have to say that my partner and I arrived late in the night, and left as early as we could. Spend the extra $30 to pay for safety and clealiness."
