Inexpensive hostel stay for two nights ~$145. It's about 5min waking distance to some of the buildings of Brown university. It's next to Ben and Jerry's ice cream store on the upper level. The entrance is somewhat obscured with no posted sign and easily missed, you really had to follow the email instructions which would be sent on day of arrival if not hours; otherwise, you won't be able to find it or get in. And I had seen it happened. I called its customer service no. (401) 863-2378 ) for check in instructions because I could not open the file that was sent on the Expedia website. I provided my personal information and uploaded a copy of my ID. Since Expedia had screwed up once before with my reservation not being found on arrival so I now call to confirm all my Expedia reservations. Don't get me wrong, I love Expedia and it's my favorite and prime sites for travel reservations. It's centrally located on a busy Main Street with lots of dinning options. It's about ~20min Uber drive from the Rhode Island airport. For the price you pay, the quality of the place is acceptable with the bare minimum: clean bedrooms, shared restrooms, and kitchen; except that you need showering shampoos and bath soup. One bath towel is provided. There is even a sitting area with skylights. We visited at the end of August with superb weather so it would be interesting to see whether the AC unit functionality during hot or cold months. If you are sensitive to loud street noise, do not stay here as some of street facing rooms have poor sound proof and the hole on the window barrier did not help with the situation: loud crowds, car honking, and blasting music last well past midnight on the weekends. read more
