Very good

The staff at this hotel were so, so nice and so accommodating. My room had no heat and no ac- there was a standing fan in the bathroom and a space heater in the bedroom. The whole room and hotel weren’t very clean. I checked out right after I got to my room and found other accommodations, but again, the staff was amazing.

Solid for one night business stay
Make sure you get the bigger room so you have somewhere to put your clothes. Also no irons. Some of the staff are too hip to smile and don’t rely on the coffee shop to be open in the morning. Having said that, better than most of the standard options in Providence.

Overall Meh
I walked in here already angry because I paid for my room in advance, and the week before the price dropped and the hotel wasn’t willing to match the new lower price.
After checking in I mentioned to the desk clerk “the website says there is a free cocktail” and then they rolled their eyes and said, “Ughhhhh, fine, I can do that.” Seriously? Then proceeds to tell me, “Well our bar isn’t open tonight.” False advertising.
The room was tiny, fine for one person but two would be a nightmare. Ripped up rug and scratched up hardwood floors are supposed to be artsy/cool but look trashy. Creepy painting on the wall. Nightmare vintage elevator.
Positives were the Bath products smelled great, room was clean, and the location was great to walk around downtown.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Front desk staff was really nice and the area in which the hotel is located is walkable with lots of shops and restaurants nearby and so that was convenient. Although the hotel room was clean, I still found hair under the pillow and above the sink in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable but the room I got was a little small and didn’t really have any places to put my luggage and bags.
We stayed at the Dean shortly after it opened in 2014. Coming back 10 years later, the hotel definitely looks 10 years older. More wear and tear was noticeable. The coffee bar was closed the first morning of our stay which was disappointing but luckily there are a few coffee options to walk to close by.
I love a boutique hotel for all its quirks. Love the wooden floor. Similar to my house. Bed was comfy. Blinds in the room made it plenty dark. Shower was a bit too small. Coffee in lobby cafe was good. Honestly, no complaints. Plenty of street parking for my car. Walking distance to everything I needed.
Couple. 2 night stay.
Reception staff friendly and helpful.
Parking was busy and expensive.
Room was clean. Bed was comfortable but could do with more pillows as there was a gap between the bed and headboard.
Windows in room are alarmed so cannot open. Cooling fan in window worked fine. We couldn't work the heater fan in the room.
Restroom was clean but small, and sliding door left a gap where the bedroom area was visible.
Small TV worked great.
Would stay again.
The coffee shop was closed most of the time. No coffee in rooms… there was instant coffe in the room
For a charge of 14$ but no cups or kettle! The bathroom is tiny. There’s absolutely no storage anywhere in the room. The door to the stairs slams so hard if you’re near it you hear it loudly inside your room at 0600 to 11 pm allll the time!
Looking forward to new restaurant connecting to the Hotel

room was not properly cleaned, service was odd (we requested water three times and only got it on the fourth try), breakfast bar was closed without warning. Note also that parking is very pricey, there is no hotel discount, and the windows are not soundproof
I like staying at the Dean, it is close to the convention center. It’s an old and quirky hotel with a beautiful speakeasy and boutique rooms. Make sure to pay the meter.
