"I've stayed here 4 times in the last 2 years and it just seems to get worse every time. They went from a great sit down breakfast to self serve hot food to a bowl of cereal. The restaurant/bar being closed on weekdays is just bizarre."

"This was a nice hotel in a surprisingly good location. If you don't have harbor view, your view isn't going to be so great -- but that was the main downside. Otherwise, it's right next to a lovely park: you just walk outside, and there's a prime area for bayside walking, running, frisbee, playground for kids, fishing, etc. The lobby and bar feel like they're part of a much more upscale hotel, partly because of the waterfront view. The staff were all excellent, and the room included a microwave, which was really helpful! "

"Room clean but VERY NOISY"

"Very friendly staff. Clean and spacious rooms"

"The most helpful and friendly staff! I stayed for the Providence marathon and they helped in so many ways. Every staff member was kind and accommodating despite the popular travel times making it even more busy than usual"

"The Beatrice manages to nail the essence of Euro-chic, welcoming, understated luxury travel and stands heads above anything else in Providence. From the spotless, elegantly appointed rooms, unobtrusive but responsive service, and helpful staff - it’s clear that each detail of the guest experience has been carefully selected and, more importantly, continuously maintained. Room design shows luxurious touches throughout (robes, finishes, towels, linens, curtains, coffee, chocolates, steamer, toiletries) but does not overwhelm — they comfort, quietly. WiFi works — simply and well. Room temperature controls are precise and effective. Whimsical and humorous references to the hotel’s eponymous human inspiration (Bea) abound. It’s always clean and being cleaned. Even the valets are friendly and helpful. I have stayed at more than a thousand hotels around the world and The Beatrice is ‘global class.’ Recommend staying if coming to Rhode Island and you crave that ‘home away from home’ feeling. It’s the ‘little things’ as a package that can make or break a guest experience at a fine hotel and The Beatrice did not disappoint on my three night stay in early May 2026."

"Billing and front desk were not helpful. "

"The room was clean, the shower was very hot, and the beds were comfortable, not much of a view, but that was ok The room was quiet at night The temperature of the room was hard to control The staff was very friendly and helpful The shuttle is a great way to get back and forth to downtown The convenience store is a great addition to be able to grab a quick snack or drink The indoor pool was very clean but cold The hot tub was very small, and the jets were not working Would stay again"

"Stayed here when moving my daughter from JWU. The hotel and room were very comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is a quick walk to JWU’s campus and there’s lots of restaurants and boutiques nearby, with the mall across the street. We also enjoyed the free breakfast which had a wide variety of options. Will definitely stay here again! "
