Top Providence Hotel Reviews
Omni Providence Hotel
"What a wonderful stay! Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Staff was crazy solicitous - finding a laptop I accidentally left at the front desk and running to me to return. Valet guys great, helping me find my purse. But biggest plus - is the ridicously comfortable bed and pillows that made it so relaxing."
Extended Stay America Suites - Providence
"Es un excelente hotel, esta a 8 min del centro de Providence, el Mall, la estaciรณn de tren que te lleva hasta Boston, tienes un stop to shop a menos de 6 min caminando. El staff es super amable y muy atentos. Considero que lo รบnico que cambiaria de la publicaciรณn es que indica que incluye desayuno, pero en realidad es mรกs como un cafรฉ o un snack por la maรฑana"
The Underwood-Hale House
"The property was wonderful. Also our suite was very spacious, the bed was very comfortable, sheets and towels were plentiful and smelled lovely. The air conditioning worked very well. All needed coffee and cream supplies were plentiful. The location is ideal, as we didn't have a car but could easily walk to breakfast and lunch places, a beautiful park, and a Whole Foods. We Even had a fancy dinner at the George on Washington Street, took LIFT there, but it was a lovely evening so walked back, only a bit over a mile!"
