Rhode Island Historic Hotel

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

"Staff at the hotel were super friendly and welcoming. The shuttle service was a nice added touch. I will say the only down side to the property was the noise at night. Granted this was a Saturday evening but I found that the rooms were not well sound proofed and I could here conversations from the hallway well into the early hours in the morning which made it difficult to sleep. I would certainly stay at the hotel again but perhaps id pack some ear plugs for the next time"

"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."

"Clean room. Very comfortable stay. Loved that everything was close by. "

"Stay was good. No issues. "

"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. "

"Only stayed for one night but the check in was a breeze, we had an ocean front room and the view didn’t disappoint. Affordable for the location, would certainly come back for a longer stay."

"Staff was warn and accommodating. Made our stay special."
