Providence Hotels with Gym

A very well appointed hotel conveniently located in the historic downtown adjacent to RISD and an easy, if uphill walk, to Brown, with a number of decent restaurants nearby. The furnishings, bathroom, and linens were all of high quality. Despite other reviews I found the staff to be rather limited in their engagement versus the friendliness praised elsewhere, but nothing off-putting. The restaurant Bellini tries to punch a bit above its weight though for Providence it’s decent. Overall by far the best hotel in Providence but still a stretch from true five star luxury or a genuine upscale business hotel like Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental.

Great location, good breakfast combos, proximity to everything in the city, friendly staff and maintenance team, rooms are clean and the kitchen is well equipped with all you need to make any type of meal for 4 to 5 people. The fridge is family size. The elevator is swift and well maintained- I have been in a hotel that the elevator took for ever to travel up and down, the wait time was frustrating mostly during morning breakfast rush hours. Just so you know, breakfast is free. Parking is not free, but valet service on site. I will recommend this hotel if you are traveling to Providence. We enjoyed our stay!

The room was spacious, bright, and clean. Cookware was provided, so you could prepare simple meals yourself. The hotel is within walking distance of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design. Macy's, a Japanese supermarket, a Korean restaurant, and a popular local Western restaurant are also a few minutes' walk away. There's a large parking lot across from the hotel with ample parking. I really enjoyed the free coffee offered all day in the restaurant on the first floor. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Rhode Island!

Facilities: Standard four-star hotel facilities, felt better than Renaissance hotels in China. The hotel facilities aren't new, and the style is somewhat similar to Ritz-Carlton in China, but they are well-maintained. The rooms are also very spacious. We stayed on the top floor, and the view was great. Cleanliness: The room was very clean. Environment: The hotel's location is excellent, right by the state government offices, and next to a large shopping mall. The mall's parking garage charges $20 for an overnight stay, which is acceptable, and it's clean and safe. It's convenient to eat here. The Cheese Factory on the first floor of the mall is open until past 10 PM, so late arrivals don't have to worry about not finding food. If you don't have breakfast included, you can also grab breakfast at the bakery on the first floor of the mall; there's a good variety of choices and it's not expensive. Service: The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming, and I didn't experience any discrimination.

After checking in, I asked for a toothbrush from the front desk, but it was not delivered after more than 2 hours. I called twice to urge it, but to no avail. I was very disappointed with the service. The check-in time of the hotel is 4 pm. I paid the 25 early check-in fee at around 1 pm. The price is ok. However, it is very inconvenient to not have slippers. Please pay attention to it!
