Would stay again but need a bigger shower
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
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!

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.

My stay at The Dean was great !! Super cool boutique property with an old school elevator and cool art throughout. Loved that they had a coffee bar in the morning. Didn’t get to check them out but also liked that they had two bars connected to the property. Everything is very walkable from The Dean and parking right next door on property and also a garage directly next to the building.

This is an excellent little boutique hotel. Not a lot of amenities, but the rooms are clean, neat and stylish in a comfy and classic way. They do have a small lobby with a coffee bar that is convenient. Very walkable area close to restaurants and coffee shops. A good selection for the price.

The Dean is lovely! Clean, beautiful, friendly staff, lovely rooms. They are tiny (though the bathroom is a fantastic size) but for one person the accommodation are perfect. The elevator is tiny and old, but quick and adds to the charm.

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.
