We visited friends in Providence and booked our stay at the Providence Marriott, and, needless to say, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was absolutely wonderful and we have stayed at other hotels that were rated higher, but couldn't have been any better! We would not hesitate to book another stay at this hotel!

I stayed at the Marriott Providence downtown a few weeks ago. It's the Marriott just off of I-95 near States St. I was here for a business meeting and only stayed one night.

There is plenty of parking. No valet parking available that I could see - which is fine. It has easy access back to I-95 and is only a few minutes from the Federal Hill restaurant district.

I visited at Xmas time and the lobby was beautiful. It looks refurbished and brand new. Very inviting. The staff was very friendly. Easy to check in though it was a long trek to my room.

They have a very nice fitness center and a pool, and a Business Center.

The restuarant looked nice, though we didn't eat dinner there. We did have breakfast and, though very very pricey ($14?) was good. They custom make omelets for you.

The room, however, was average. Though we were in non-smoking room, the hallway smelled very strongly of cigarette smoke, and some of it made its way into the room. The room itself is fairly basic. On the small side, with all the normal amenities. The bathroom was a bit worn.

It A/C / Heat is not central air. There's a unit below the window and it worked, but I could only get it to be cool or very hot in the room. The temp outside was about 25 degrees, but I'd rather be cool than sweaty so I set it to cool.

There's Internet but you are charged for it. In the morning, I did not get a bill under my door, but the front desk gladly printed it.

So, overall it was passable for a one or two night stay, but I wouldn't stay longer. The rate as okay ($189) for a downtown property, but the Westin I drove by looked nicer (from the outside anyway).

great stay and wonderful new room and bedding. This hotel is committed to hospitality and you will see this in all detail of excution from the friendly front desk(finally I found staff who cares about me) to the outstanding dinner in the speciality restaurant. The hotel is fitted for us fittness buffs, with a great indoor pool and a above average fittness center. We are bring our company conferance to this hotel as a result of thids past visit.

we had to go to providence for a show. Bid on priceline, $60.00 for a friday. easy to find. check in when using priceline,hotwire etc always a challenge. Put in basement, fine by me so long as i can see car. clean, yes.run down, yes.no outside noise. air con/heating loud but worked.ate at bar, food ok. silly to pay for internet in room but i did as i only paid $60.00 for room. I would never ever pay rack rate for this hotel. Am Marriott rewards member and use marriott a lot in other areas and am usually happy to pay going rate but thank goodness i didn't here. it was fine.
