I did a lot of research on places to stay before booking at the Cady House, due, in part, to other reviews. We were not disappointed! Our room was comfortable and we were able to overlook the odor of the indoor dogs because of the substitute inn keeper. He was more than willing to help us out on the bast places to eat and where to visit while in town. He really went out of his way. If the regular inn keepers are as great as the friend that helped us, we will stay there on every trip back to Providence.

We stayed here 7/1 and 7/2. The location is great for Thayer Street shopping and Brown University. It's a 15 minute walk to downtown, but you can use the trolley too.

Our room was on the second floor and had a separate living room area with daybed and fireplace. The doorknob handle for the bathroom didn't have any screws on it, but it did stay shut. You can't lock your room from outside, so be prepared for that. You are able to slide a lock across once inside your room, but unable to lock the room when you are not there.

The furnishings were an odd mix of antiques and items picked up from their travels, some worked in the room and some just looked out of place. The room was clean and neat.

Breakfast was coffee, bagels, breads and fruit. Scrambled eggs were also offered.

The people that stayed above us both evenings were very loud throughout the night, so I'd request a room on the top floor if you don't want to be disturbed by guests walking across the old wooden floors all night.

All in all, it was a great price and location with a friendly host. Our only bad thoughts were that the room didn't lock and the noisy upstairs guests.

We'd stay here again, but DEFINITELY book the top floor room.

What a wonderful, hidden gem! The rooms are spacious, and the accomodations are superb. Though we did not meet Bill and Anna, their friend Mark was a gracious host. An outstanding value, this comes with high recommendations.

Our stay in May 2002 found us pleasantly surprised. The Cady House is very convenient to the historic sights of Providence and we enjoyed the hum of college life from nearby Brown University. Our upstairs room was very large with a bathroom to match. Eclectic artwork and furnishings dotted the entire house and gave us some insight to the innkeeper's personality. All this at a bargain price. We will definitely stay here the next time we go to Providence.
