This was the perfect location! There’s a coffee shop less than half a mile away, and you have easy access to downtown. Before arriving, I recommend requesting all the room information ahead of time. I wasn’t aware of the security deposit you need to pay before receiving the room details. The property manager was incredibly easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions. The room was clean, the view was beautiful, and the property was very quiet. The housekeeping staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

Excellent, however the room I was in had a door that must have been the bathroom for the other room and everytime it was used I knew about it...other than that, excellent stay and very clean.

Our stay was amazing! The room and property were clean. I would definitely stay here again. Some things to note, it’s in a busy area and there was some loud noise from motorcycles and cars revving their engines at night. This is not the properties fault but if you’re a light sleeper it could be an issue, we stayed on a Thursday night. Also there is Kuerigs on site but no coffee was available. So bring some if you want coffee in the morning. There is a coffee shop that was delicious just down the street.

This property should be advertised as a hostel, not a hotel. There are only two bathrooms and none on the first floor. The shared bath situation should be very evident, and it wasn’t in their reservation process unless you read the fine print. It’s misleading.

The mattress is too soft for me. The pillow is way to high.

A fantastic cost effective place to stay. The location is brilliant! Located on the river close to outstanding restaurants. Brown and RISD is right there and offer wonderful places to visit. Being an artist the RISD museum was fun and inspiring to visit. The room was very large with views to the street and the river. The bathroom is shared but it never was an issue. The only downside was the noise from cars cruising by at night. Noise canceling headphones made it very tolerable. The only other issue was the antique door hardware needed some love. I recommend staying here if you are more laid back and flexible. I would stay there again.

The room is not what is in the picture it is a hostel not a hotel. You will book the room thinking you are getting what you see in the picture but they lie. The bed as terrible it is a shared bathroom there was a mouse trap in the room horrible experience. I asked for a refund for the 2nd night because I could not stay there and they refused to refund me.

6/10 Good

Check in instructions were very unclear and communicated via text because there isn't any on-site staff. This could be a cool little hostel-hotel but the bathroom was brutal. The door knob fell off while I was inside the bathroom, which temporarily trapped me in the bathroom, and it wasn't communicated that the old, seemingly decorative, oversized key on our fireplace mantle was actually the key to the bathroom. Soap and shampoo solely consisted of a half-empty Head and Shoulders 2-in-1 bottle. It's a good place to stay if you just need the convenience of a good location (location is really great here) and have no intentions of hanging around the hotel.

Shortly before our arrival, we were asked to email a photo of our ID and transfer a security deposit in order to receive the access code. We complied because we had no alternative accommodations. After our stay, we waited for the deposit to be refunded. When we inquired, we were told that our bank had rejected the refund. Alternative payment methods we offered (Visa, PayPal, bank account) also seem not to have worked, as we are still waiting after two weeks. It’s rather unlikely that three banks would suddenly be unable to receive money…

My stay ended on March 2nd, it took until April 24th to have the security deposit refunded to me because they couldn't figure out how to process it. Not particularly professional. The stay itself was not bad, and the place is quite nice, I love the historical aspects of the property, but it could use some fixes/updates. I was in an upstairs bedroom, on both my bedroom door and the bathroom door there was a gap between the door and the door frame, so other guests walking by could see into the room. That made me uncomfortable as a solo female traveler, and should be fixed. It is very nice that they have free parking in downtown Providence (unlike most hotels in this area) but it had snowed a couple days before and the parking lot was plowed in a way that there wasn't enough parking spots.

El alojamiento está muy bien situado, muy cerca del centro, pero la calle es muy ruidosa y hay poca insonorización en las habitaciones. Es difícil dormir por el ruido.
