My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hotel Providence Sunday night. The Hotel is lovely but, the staff was fantastic Jim Beller, the Valet Joe and the adorable front desk girl Lavia who made us laugh were great. Jim gave us many recommendations for dinner we ate at an Italian restaurant and the food was fabulous. He’s just a wealth of information thank you again for a wonderful stay the room was cozy and very clean I especially loved the shower 🚿 Cheryl & Bob

I came to Providence for work. I told the front desk that I am a light sleeper. They put me in a room by the elevator where the noise woke me up 4-6x every night. There were some noisy events going on outside, and when I asked for a room on a higher floor, they said "Sorry, this is the highest floor available for your room type." Don't stay here if you are a light sleeper! (also the Wifi is miserably slow - as in dialup internet slow).

Hello, We are saddened to hear you were unable to get a good night's sleep well staying at the hotel. During your stay, Providence was hosting PVD fest, an art and music festival held throughout the city with various stages and a large influx of people. Your stay took place on a sold-out weekend and in our small boutique hotel, Our suites are only on certain floors which only allowed us to put you on the third floor. We hope if you come to Providence again you will give Hotel Providence another chance, in a quieter room this time. Sincerely Thomas Anderson General Manager

When arriving to the hotel the gentleman checking me in was amazing. Probably the best part of the stay in the hotel. Nice hotel papers thin walls. Didn’t get any sleep the first night because guests above me kept walking around until 4:30 am. I had to wake up at 5 AM in order to make it into the job site. Management did contact me later on during the day and gave me a white noise machine and asked me if I wanted air plugs. I cannot sleep with air plugs. The machine did help somewhat but it was not the perfect solution. Getting my car was a challenge as well. After returning back to the hotel, from work, I requested my car and found it strange that both valet attendants where driving in it? How many people does it take to get a car? Why it took both of them in my car, no clue? One of them sitting in the passenger seat where I had my safety vest. That was on the floor board after they both got out. This morning I called the front desk to get my car. Started calling at 5:30 in the morning I had to call for over 20 minutes before Jason the front desk attendant answered. I let him know that I was not happy about having to call for 20 minutes, there was no, I’m sorry, the only thing I got was, well I’m here by myself. Because of not getting my car in a timely manner, after letting them know the night before, I have to leave early, I was unable to get any breakfast and barely made it to work. Now that I’m at work I find it strange that my pocket notepad for my safety vest is missing. It was there yesterday when I took it off and put it on the passenger side seat. Great location, check in was nice, the rest of it subpar. Not worth the money.…

We are happy to hear you enjoyed our location as well as the staff member who checked you in but saddened to hear about the rest of your stay. We try our best to help with noise complaints and are happy we were able to give you one of our new white noise machines. As we let you know, the guest who spent the first night above you checked out which we hoped was the root of the issue but its unfortunate to hear the second guest you had the same issue with. After contacting our third-party valet company we learned that on Friday night they were training a new employee. This is why there were two valets that exited your car upon arrival to the valet lane. We mentioned to them your comments on the movement of your safety vest. The hotel has invested in Valet software as well as a texting platform to allow our guests to communicate with us via Text. Looking into this a little more it looks like you had requested the car via valet portal which prompted our employee to retrieve your car. Unfortunately, this left the desk unattended for your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience. We hope if you visit the beautiful Ocean State you will consider giving Hotel Providence another chance Sincerely, Thomas Anderson General Manager

Staying at hotel providence for my wedding at the Grace Church was the star choice I could have ever made. The views and the decor were amazing and completely fit our aesthetic. Everyone who works there is amazing and extremely accommodating! Thank you! I did hear from some guests that the mattresses could be better, and I agree they could be. But overall a beautiful stay.

We stayed in a one bedroom suite at Hotel Providence. It was such a great space and location. I tend to sleep late so my husband was able to get up and enjoy a book and cup of coffee on the couch in the living room while I slept. The staff was so friendly and it was a great home base for getting around Providence and not too far if you want to take a day trip to Newport.

We stayed one night when my daughter was visiting Brown. Our corner room had two queen beds and the bathroom was large with a marble floor. We were a little leery when they had us leave our car parked in front of the hotel all night but everything was ok. The restaurant was closed on a Monday morning but there is a Dunkin Donuts just around the corner. The staff was nice and the hotel was pet friendly. The closest grassy area to take your dog is up the street about a half a block. It worked out just fine. We would stay here again.

We stayed for 3 nights and everything was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff - especially Paul - were friendly, attentive, and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Providence and plan to return in the future.
