    Bed bugs!! Manager Brad was zero help! I stayed at hotel providence on March 3 2025. This experience was my much different than the positive experiences I've become used to in the past with Wyndham properties . I pull up , the valet didn't move from his lean on the valet desk fine. When he say I was staying at the hotel offered zero help carrying bags from car to lobby ( also fine but weird) still tipped him $20. Being a weekend out we went out downtown and then I ended up falling asleep on the couch and not the bed . In the morning when I went to move from the couch to the bed, I was disturbed to find bedbugs all over the mattress and sheets. I immediately gathered all my belongings and went downstairs. I went to go show Manager Brad, the videos of what I just found. He had no interest in going and looking at the issue with me and told me he'll look into it. I literally just found bugs in the bed and he said he was gonna look into it or bring me no help or even an apology I had a $3000 Louis Vuitton duffel on the bed along with all my jackets. I said what is the procedure on making sure these are clean he said he wasn't sure of the procedure on that. So as a general manager, he had no idea how to even rectify a situation. I call back the next day and he said there was nothing in the room, even though he saw the videos that I took seconds before talking to him. He is extremely unprofessional. I will never go back to this property. This is something I've never had to deal with a Wyndham before and I've stayed at this property before I know it very downhill since the last time I stayed there . Beware . They'll openly let their customers stay in rooms with bedbugs and do nothing to help out . On top of that the bathtub was absolutely disgusted, filled with long black hairs when I filled it up with water. It seems like the cleaning and hygiene factor at this hotel has tanked in the past couple of years. I have video and pictures showing the room with bed bugs for anyone who wants to see them . I am praying that I didn't bring them home with me . I wish I could up load the videos here that show them moving

    Scratches from Valet Parking

    AVOID. I was ready to give this hotel a 4 star review until I looked at my car the next day. We paid $40 for the overnight valet parking and I even tipped the valet an extra $20 upon my arrival. When we left the next morning it was raining so we rushed into the car without giving it a good look over. The next day we noticed these scratches all over our hood (more not pictured). I'd like to believe it wasn't the hotel staff, but either way that means they aren't parking cars in a safe location. This was on top of paying approximately $350 for a one night stay...

    Beautiful church with a clock played a beautiful sound during the day.

    If you are looking for something older and boutique this would be it. The best thing for me was the view from my window of a beautiful church and steeple. Food options are limited and not open long enough. Walking distance to other bars and restaurants.

    Nice lobby

    On their website, the Hotel Providence claims they offer European flair and New England charm, and that their hotel is steeped in historic character dating back to the 19th century. This is 100% accurate from my perspective, an old, beautiful and nicely maintained property, with a lovely lobby and wonderful architectural details. They also say that you can "Savor a delicious meal or handcrafted cocktail at Backstage Kitchen & Bar, serving creative New England classics with innovative twists". But according to recent Yelp reviews and my prior experience, this is sadly not the case. They currently have a 2.5-star Yelp rating, as was evident by their nearly empty restaurant and bar the other evening, as we walked past on our way to Red Fin Credo (which was packed). It's unfortunate, as the hotel restaurant is very attractive and offers a wonderful outside patio. The rooms are spacious, with high ceilings, large windows and large bathrooms. The staff is courteous and attentive. They provide complimentary (and quite good) coffee first thing in the morning, in the lobby. And they offer valet parking, which was $30 a day. Note that there is a parking lot directly across the street if you don't want to hassle with a valet, which is $25 a day. The fitness room is in the basement. It is large and well equipped, but of course it is windowless. There is a stairway down from the lobby. They provide treadmills, elliptical, dumbbells, a small Hoist universal and a weight bench. It's fine, certainly adequate. The Hotel Providence is in an excellent location. This is my second visit and I'd be happy to return. Rates are not inexpensive, but you do get an attractive room, comfortable bed, bathrobes, and a beautiful property. One nitpick on this visit was the lack of pillows. This is supposed to be an upscale hotel, but our bed had only three pillows. Two per person should be the minimum for any hotel, especially for the "only AAA Four Diamond luxury boutique hotel in Providence," which is "passionate about providing stellar hospitality."

    The gentleman that checked me in at night was super nice. The room was pretty, but the walls are thin. Didn't get any sleep first night, since the person above me kept walking around. They did give me a white noise machine for the following night and offered ear plugs. I can or will sleep with ear plugs. The machine help somewhat, but never got a full good night sleep. Last night getting my car, I found it strange that 2 valet people had been riding in my car together? Why? Both mornings trying to get my car before 6 am was a challenge. This morning I called the front desk starting at 5:30, had to keep calling back for over 20 min. Front desk attendant Jason was nowhere to be found. Barely made it to work on time. Horrible!! Location great, pretty, but not worth what you pay!

    Recently, I've found myself staying at boutique hotels. Hotel Providence is a beautiful establishment. It's right in the heart of downtown Providence. This area boasts culture, color, and liveliness, which you can see and feel as soon as you hit the streets of Prov. The parking lot across the street from the hotel has beautiful murals - you should definitely check out if you're into that sort of thing. I stayed in a standard room with two queen beds for a business trip. The room was nice, clean, spacious, with a decent view of the city from the 5th floor. The room came with a mini-fridge, safe, desk, ice bucket, coffee/tea maker ironing board, premium channels, pretty decent free WiFi, two white robes, and a matching pair of large slippers. The room did not come equipped with a microwave but you can simply call the front desk and have one delivered to you if you need one. Okay so can we talk about the bathroom? The lighting was excellent. Also, this was one of the first hotels I stayed at that had a digital scale. It also had a magnifying ring light. I fell in love right there. My only gripe about the bathroom is that they don't have shower caps. I feel like that's a very basic bathroom essential. The hotel itself is interesting. I stayed on the 5th floor and the architecture seemed almost maze-like. It would be interesting to know what the building served as prior to becoming a boutique hotel. FYI: There is no free parking in/around the downtown area (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). I think this is a major flaw for the city. Even Washington D.C. has free parking after a certain time, even with all their zoned parking. Valet is $30/night. Everything else is metered. The front desk staff were interesting. Not really rude or friendly. Just there.

    Staying here was so nice. Staff awesome- room awesome- location awesome- price good. Covid restricts so much but everything was clean and tidy and the staff will even bring happy hour to your room since bar was closed. The weather was frightful but with so many food and drink options in this Arts district I was happy to face the cold winds! Pet friendly so this is a huge plus for us!!! You have to walk up to the college to find some grass for your pet (and bring your tissue for pick up) but the walk is so nice. I wish I could give this place 5 star but it's not THAT fancy;) still pretty nice! We love the history behind the building too!!! We stayed in 304. 2 queens and a pull out sofa.

    I will begin with the positives of The Providence Hotel which I contribute to the 1) the Staff, and 2) the location. I will state that the Staff (Sam & Elijah, and others whom I did not interact with) were great as evidenced by their attentiveness to the check in/check out process, room change support, and attention to the lobby snack area. Yes, the lobby has complimentary snacks and beverages throughout the day; fresh grounded and brewed coffee, tea, soda, and water, and chips, cookies, and nutrigain bars! The hotel location is central to the downtown area located within walking distance to many schools, coffee shops, restaurants, and other sites to see. The hotel is about 9.4 miles from the airport, which as of Nov. 2023, was a $20 Uber ride; Uber and other ride sharing services are easy to get to and from the hotel. For the two reasons mentioned above, I give Hotel Providence two stars. Minus three starts for the value and cleanliness. I paid $260 per night for a W, Thur., & F. With this cost, I could have expected updated and clean facilities. Rather, within one hour of being assigned to my room on the third floor, I observed a mouse run across my room from the closest to the other side of the room. In looking at the closet, I noticed droppings and noticed that there was not only a gap between the closet door and floor, but also between the bedroom door and floor. In addition, the first bedroom had peeling wallpaper, leftover hair in the shower, and some light bulbs that did not work. I called the front to report the pest concern to which they agreed to switch my room with a "sorry". I quickly packed up and went to the lobby with my belongings to obtain my new keycard to a bedroom on the fifth floor. Happily, there were no mice observed in my new room; however, again, the room had leftover hair in the shower and sink, dust/debris under the beds, other furniture, surrounding the front door frame. I was far too tired to change rooms again, and under a tight schedule to change hotels; thus, I kept everything in my suitcase until it was needed and put towels in front of the bedroom and closet doors to ensure no visitors were able to get in. Lastly, the noise level was concerning on both floors- the walls are thin- coughing, grunting, talking, and alarms can be heard in the rooms. I had to put a white noise application on my phone all three nights to ensure I was able to sleep. While I understand there are budgetary issues with the state of the economy impacting staffing and the ability to address general maintenance, and that this hotel is located in a downtown area where pest may be more prevalent, this issue needs to be address as there was at least one more in my group who had a similar experience on a different floor. In summary, this hotel is located in a central area; however, it is outdated and not what you would expect paying $260 per night for a basic room. I think Hotel Providence has potential and this experience must be reflective of the difficult economic times many businesses are going through.

The only issue I had was that I requested a late check-out and the person working the counter really gave me a hard time about it. I understand that late check-outs aren't guaranteed, but her attitude about it was really off. She kept insisting that I need to speak with her manager to approve it, but she never offered to get the manager. I just gave up and decided to speak with someone else the next day. When I came by the next day, the person working let us have the 2pm check-out and the manager did happen to walk by and said it was not an issue at all. And it turns out the girl from the night before did mark me as a 1pm check-out. Honestly, though, this was still an issue because housekeeping came at 1pm to clean the room... The room itself was a room. Clean and standard to Hampton Inn. The bathroom was good, with a nice shower stall and good water pressure but a low flow toilet. My room was in a separate part of the building with only like 6 rooms on the floor. This was nice when it came to hotel noise. However, the windows are very thin and the complaints about car drag racing all night are not incorrect. The location of this hotel was fantastic, an easy walk to many of the sights in the area. One day we decided to take the shuttle and that was fabulous. This hotel is worth staying at for the shuttle alone.

I like staying at these places because breakfast is usually not a big deal for me. The FREE SHUTTLE goes within 2 miles of the hotel. I stayed here two different times and I probably caught the shuttle 6 different times. Jenn is the absolute best shuttle driver, super knowledgeable about the entire town, and remembered me when I came back the second time. I don't like taking Ubers by myself so having the shuttle was the best - the shuttle picked me up from the Amtrak station before I even checked in! Then it took me to the mall while I waited for my room to be ready. Location: super convenient to eateries, and just across the river from Brown, RISD, Thayer St, and walkable to the waterfront. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. THE BAD: Both times I stayed, my room faced the street and at night people race cars on those streets! The street noise is REALLY LOUD.
