Hotels near Rhode Island Jewish Historical Association, Providence

A very well appointed hotel conveniently located in the historic downtown adjacent to RISD and an easy, if uphill walk, to Brown, with a number of decent restaurants nearby. The furnishings, bathroom, and linens were all of high quality. Despite other reviews I found the staff to be rather limited in their engagement versus the friendliness praised elsewhere, but nothing off-putting. The restaurant Bellini tries to punch a bit above its weight though for Providence it’s decent. Overall by far the best hotel in Providence but still a stretch from true five star luxury or a genuine upscale business hotel like Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental.

The beautiful environment of the hotel is a classic in the century-old architecture. In the literary city center, the interior has modern facilities and the service is very warm. The lobby also provides guests with delicious drinks and desserts. The public areas are quiet and elegant, and the surrounding environment has a cultural heritage. The famous mural wall is in the surrounding area, which is a good choice for home travel.

This “boutique” hotel was NOT inexpensive. The front desk staff was welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately the building itself lacked everything needed for a comfortable stay. The room was so dark it was impossible to read. There was no room for two people to place toiletries in the bathroom. There was no closet or dresser, so if one is staying for more than one night it would be difficult to store clothing. There were exactly two hooks on the wall and four hangers! Worst of all….. the mattress was so uncomfortably soft that my husband slept sitting up on a hard chair. Perhaps some would find this hotel charming, ……not us.

I have to say that sometimes when I’m traveling to an area I don’t know very well, I won’t stay at a hotel if it’s not a name I know. I expect a certain standard when I stay at a reputable chain such as Hilton. This isn’t an awful hotel, but there’s nothing special about it. Our room needed updating. It smelled like mildew. There was mildew or some sort of stains around the peripheral of most of the bathroom ceiling. There were stains that looked like either lipstick or blood all over the outside of the bathroom door. The parking garage was crowded and filthy. The button that you were supposed to use to let yourself in and out of the parking garage didn’t work so you had to call for assistance every time. like many hotels, they are not servicing the room if you stay multiple nights and that’s fine. But I called and requested towels and they never delivered them. The hotel website implies that there is a restaurant. There is not a restaurant. There is a bar that’s open in the evening, and they may serve food in the evening, but that’s not a restaurant. The television was awful. There was no literature in the room or in the hotel about things to do in Providence. this is not an awful hotel, but it’s not a good one, and it certainly isn’t up to the Hilton name.

We belong to the nearest hotel booked wherever we go. We are a family of four traveling on this trip. The hotel at this price is good value for money, clean and tidy and comfortable, good breakfast, and very fresh juice

I only stayed for a single night. I found the room comfortable and quiet. At night, the window shade blocked all the outside light. Although I did not use the kitchen facilities, it looked functional and efficient. The room and the building were very clean and neat. The next time I need a room in this area, I will definitely pick this Extended Stay America.

I had the most dissatisfying stay recently at the Hampton Inn in Smithfield RI. This was a one night local getaway for me to have a little alone time, to get some work done, and to relax. I have often stayed at Hiltons but not at the particular location. Right off the bat I found the desk person to be grumpy, short with me, and unfriendly, Not to mention that when I arrived I had to wait for him at the desk as he was outside, Once settled in my room the wifi was inaccessible. I tried several times and there just wasn't a strong enough signal for my computer to hook in. Not only was this disappointing but it didn't allow me to get the work done that I had planned on doing. The room above me sounded like a bowling alley all night long so sleep wasn't possible. In the morning the tv no longer worked, Seemed to possible be a bug with the clocks falling behind or something. Then, when leaving, there wasn't even anyone at the desk to speak with - just a box to put in your plastic room key for disinfecting. All in all it was a very disappointing stay and I won't be returning,

HORRIBLE!!! Avoid this hotel at all costs. After a long day of travel with our 9 year old son we arrived at the hotel at around 11:30 pm. Our flight landed just after 11pm. We had a confirmed reservation for one night and were exhausted from a long day of travel and were eager to get a good night rest. When we arrived we noticed someone’s workout clothes on the floor outside the door of the gym in the middle of our path. We circumvented the dirty clothes in the floor and we arrived at the front desk and told the gentleman we had a reservation. He told us that there were no rooms available despite having a reservation. He told me it was my fault for not checking in earlier and that my reserved room had been given to someone else. He went on to tell me I would need to call and request a refund and then blamed me for booking through a third party when in fact I booked with HILTON DIRECTLY. Never in my life have I heard of this and when I proceeded to inquire he then changed his story and said he didn’t have any clean rooms available. I asked if I could speak with a manager who emerged from a back room. He rudely sat at the computer and told me that he in fact had a room after all. After arriving in our room exhausted and exasperated we found a filthy room with a disheveled bed, crumbs on the floor and a smell that was like a stomach churning combination of beef jerky, maple syrup and vomit. My 9 year old son asked if we could sleep in the car instead and my husband and I considered it. I will NEVER stay at another Hilton property. What a nightmare.

This was a very good place to stay near T. F. Green Airport, Providence, RI. There was a free breakfast with all sorts of cold and hot choices. Free airport shuttle. I'm handicapped and walk with a cane, so I needed assistance with luggage. Usually this hotel doesn't have that as they are more like a motel when it comes to that kind of service but they were so helpful and accommodating. Make sure to request handicapped-accessible rooms/baths when making reservations. The beds are so, so comfortable with pillowtops. Orlando, the Maintenance guy, was wonderful. He brought all my luggage to my room. The next morning, I was leaving for the airport and he was the driver of the van. I guess he wears many hats! He was so amazing-brought my luggage to the van, from the van to the curb-side check in, waited to make sure they has a wheelchair for me to get through the airport. Awesome service!! The only concern I had at the hotel was the TV remote was filthy. I had to wipe it with alcohol swabs before I used it(and washed my hands 3 times in between). When I let the front desk know, they were appropriately concerned and said they would address it with their housekeeping staff. Good response to a complaint.

Extremely clean ~ Great front desk service ~ Great location, right near highway ~ a walk through the parking lot to a great breakfast spot.
