This is a beautifully decorated hotel in a great location to explore downtown Providence. Very close to several eateries and the Art Myseum. The staff were great and kind allowing me to store my bags until my room was ready. I stayed in multiple hotels on my visit to RI and this was by far the best. Comfortable bed, nice suites, and helpful staff.

We’ve stayed here before and seems like they haven’t kept up with upkeep. Maybe this is the new Hilton buyout? Used to give out coffee tokens for the Pointdexter Coffee shop and that’s no more. Hotel website says there’s a Peloton with a photo and there’s no Peloton and the gym is pretty lackluster with no towels. Rooms are large which is great, but it’s an old building so outlets are low (AKA water kettle for coffee didn’t reach an outlet.) Overall, it’s beautiful and quirky and there’s not a lot of options in downtown Providence, but it just needs some love.

We have stayed here before, and it is a beautiful and unique hotel. However, this time there were issues with sediment in the water, and I had to clean out my tub a couple of times to use it. Apparently there was an issue with the pipes or something. I asked if we could have any discount so I am still waiting to hear. Regardless, we will stay here again, but it was unfortunate that happened this time. But they were great at housekeeping and the lobby is stunning. The rooms are very very spacious and it’s a great location.

During peak check in period (between 3 pm and 4 pm on Friday), .there was only one very young person at the desk. There were at least 6 sets of customers waiting. During this period, it was hard not to notice the phone at the desk was constantly ringing and the person at the desk, would answer, immediately say "front desk, please hold and hang-up the phone. This continued for the entire 30 minutes we were in line to check in. Other interesting observations, apparently the hot water in the building had been unavailable for several days just before we checked in (this was pointed out to us while in the elevator to our room). There was no mention of this at the front desk, but even though the water was running it was a dark brown and stained the shower enclosure. For the entire hotel there was only one ice maker (on the 4th floor, we were on 17) which worked, again no mention of this during check in. In this case tribal knowledge from the guests distributed the information. Finally, while visiting family in another room, the battery operated fire/smoke alarm began to chirp loudly, signalling that battery needed to be changed. Every minute or so it reported (note this was now 8pm). 45 minutes passed before "engineering" arrived with a ladder, and removed and then replaced the detector. Before departing "engineering" commented that "lately alarms had been chirping at an unusual frequency" and when asked why they just didn't proactively replace every detector ...

Front desk staff was horrible. Ignored people in line. Put you on hold and never came back on line. Fire detectors going off in room and took forever to get maintenance to come up to replace battery. Friendly service would have made such a difference! Brown water and one ice machine for entire hotel also made it difficult to stomach considering price of the room. I can see it was once a gorgeous property Nothing a little TLC couldn’t fix!

Stayed for 3 nights. Room on 4th fl. There was a musty/moldy/ damp smell. No bathroom ventialtion. After shower room was wet/gross. Traveled with 2 kids under 5 y/o. H cleaninless needs improvement. As others mentioned, wallpaper peeling off, dead/ live bugs. I cleaned dresser cabinets, nightstands, windowsills, bathroom and kitchenette counters as well as light switches. Some of the dirt ranged from green to black. Cleanliness rating a 6 /10 with 10 being the cleanest. We went downstairs to the bar/restaurant within the hotel to eat dinner. Our meal was interjected by a couple who identfied they were homeless & kept talking to us (we were polite but had just driven from NY for 4 hours in a storm. We were hungry and tired). They were drinking rounds of alcohol. Asked for check and left, didnt finish our food. From 12a- 3a, there were people screaming/ fighting near the lot. The showerhead in the bathroom was different than depicted online. The wall mounted blasting showerhead scared kids. Id recommend requesting a detachable/hose showerhead if traveling with kids. I was told ONLY available in Handicap/Accessible rooms. The hotel doesnt have a parking garage on premises, theres 1 down the block (additional $34 x day).The staff is friendly/ try to accommodate guests but smelly room, no ventilation, parking, people screaming, among other things accumulates. Left a day earlier due to the no hot water issue on 8/ 29. Overall not bad but we're happy to be home.

There was mold in my room - I request to be moved but they were too booked. So they removed the moldy curtains. Still filling uncomfortable to sleep in a mold exposed room ( with other issues built up; hair on pillows, stains, dead bugs on shades, cracked window, toilet lid not fitting, wallpaper coming off in multiple places, broken ac cover…) I asked the next day for any free rooms. Though they had one to move into - I requested to have at least 50% refunded due to having to sleep in an unsafe room and they said they couldn’t because it was booked through 3rd party. So, I will be asking Hotels.com what can be done. 2 women where very helpful in all this, but sad that the end result was not met.
