Smelled like dirty mop water and the bathroom curtain stunk like it hadn’t been washed in a very long time. The shower is also very cramped. Bed is uncomfortable

unfortunately will not be coming back or recommend
I regret booking The Dean for our downtown Providence trip. The room did not reflect the photos on their website, there is no minibar (the front desk collects anything you need to be refrigerated or frozen - which is iffy because when I was waiting to retrieve my ice packs someone was picking up their leftovers and they said something in that bag wasn't theirs, use that service at your discretion), the central ac unit was broken (so our room had a window ac, which allowed extra noise from the outside in, but not only that smoke and the smell of marijuana from outside too). We requested cribs for our children and the cribs were mismatched, and soiled - I had to call for extra linens to line the cribs because housekeeping did not do that for the babies. On the subject of babies, if you're traveling with children or small babies, they have a very small lift with the metal sliding doors, so be careful with the little fingers and toes. The room we stayed in seemed like it could use some cleaning also, there were dust under the bed and the bedsheet was stained. To communicate with the downstairs staff you either have to leave your room and use a community phone or call/text a number (I tried the text and no one reponded to me, so I had to call). Overall, not the best experience staying at The Dean - unfortunately will not be coming back or recommending this place.

Little misleading when it says “welcomes all pets”. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate our cat. Their pereference is mainly dogs for anyone’s knowledge. Still, an unbelievable ambience to the place and a super fun stay

Great location and unique building/layout. We had a large room but it could have used a bit more furniture to make it functional. Staff was helpful but a little overwhelmed - could have just been due to a busy weekend.

The Dean is charming but we won't be back
The young woman who checked us in was lovely and attentive. It was late when we arrived and we were tired. She brought us a bucket of ice and, when we realized our heater didn't work, she brought us a space heater and assured us they'd have maintenance check it in the morning. However, the next day we learned the heat was nor working throughout the floor. We spent 2 very cold, uncomfortable nights. The young man working the following day seemed bored and indifferent to his job. I called downstairs after seeing him at the desk and he did not answer the phone. I called a dozen times with no answer. I finally had to walk out to the hallway to call from the dedicated front desk phone. The hotel has much charm but we won't return.

The room was fine, nothing special. It was very clean. There was coffee and a roll in the morning behind the checkin desk, but it wasn’t free. No coffee pot in the room. The elevator was old. You have to open 2 heavy doors, the way elevator operators did in the day. The parking lot next door was $38 per night. There was also a parking garage next to that. We stayed one night to see a play. It is walkable to many restaurants and the performing arts center. The hotel price was reasonable.

Great luxury sweet at the price point. Great location in Providence which made areas we wanted to see during the trip super convenient to walk/ short drive. Parking was super easy. The speakeasy bar was an awesome spot.
