Find 3-Star Hotels in Providence

This was a solo stay on April 20, 2023. I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member, and as such I enjoy trying different properties across the portfolio when I visit different cities. In Providence, I had not yet stayed at this Homewood Suites, so I decided to give it a try. It was a stopover on the way by train to Boston, so I found it extremely convenient, a few blocks away from the station. I was surprised that this hotel did not offer a Digital Key, because it would have allowed me to bypass the odd arrangement of the entrance on the street level and the front desk on the second level. So I had to stop at the desk to claim my plastic old school card key. The desk staff was professional and described the hotel and features, as well as mentioning breakfast down on the street level. My Diamond status was recognized. My room was the one I had chosen during the online advance check-in the day before arrival. As it was a suite, it was certainly spacious. But.... the HVAC was hard to control, if at all. The outdoor temperature went down to the low 40's, and so I would have liked to have my room warmer than it was. Turning the thermostat higher just displayed the higher temperature but did not make the temperature higher. Unfortunately this was realized when I was ready to go to bed, so I wasn't going to contact anyone to rectify it that late. I found the bathroom to also be spacious, with enough room to put my toiletries on the counter. Because of the room temperature I opted not to take a shower that morning, so I cannot vouch for whether there was any issue with hot water. Breakfast.... I did not expect much. It was buffet style but limited selection. I did have scrambled eggs. I was bothered in the morning before my planned departure from the room and well before check-out time by Housekeeping knocking on my door. I thought that they only come in between guests. I had to yell that I would be out within half an hour. All in all, a great location but the lesson learned is to check the temperature control earlier in your stay if possible.

The environment of the hotel is good, and the location is very good in the city center. It's convenient to eat in the United States. The breakfast is good, but it's not suitable for our Chinese stomachs. But it's okay, you can cook easily, there are microwave ovens, induction cookers, and woks There is also a coffee machine that can boil hot water, which is good for me who likes to drink tea, but my daughter can speak English, and I have already booked a room with Ctrip. When my daughter is away, the front desk asks me to use my credit card to pay the deposit, and the communication is difficult.

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.

There was hair on the bed, there was a mineral water bottle lost by the previous guest in the trash can, the restaurant did not have dinner, nor did it provide take-out menus from surrounding restaurants, so Starbucks in the lobby settled the dinner

Always use a Marriott hotel. This one was very disappointing. We made our reservation 2 months ago with a request for a top floor and away from the elevator and it would be a late check-in. We arrived at 9pm, only to get 3rd floor and across from the elevator. We were also not told it was a handicap room. Room was clean but disappointed. Only a handheld shower head because of the handicap room but the shower head was falling off the wall. Shampoo bottles not able to read. Pillows too soft. And no tea bags. They only provide coffee, which we don't drink. Front desk told me I had to go to market and buy a tea bag The hotel was under renovation. The exercise room did not have wipes to clean equipment and some of the equipment was not working properly. Upon leaving, poor customer service as they never asked how I stay was. Not sure I would stay here again.

We host our 2 and 3 years old, since check in experience has been great. The hotel is renovated with the wonderful rooms and the incredible service, excellent location My family and I have had the privilege to spend a few amazing days in the hotel, The staff is amazing all super friendly and serviceful always smiling and willing to help you in anything you ask, The hotel has a indoor and outdoors pool during the weekend there was music around the pool and the environment was great ! We had the opportunity to meet one of the executives JC name a spectacular person just someone who makes the difference Thanks to him and all the other staff for making our memorable holidays We will certainly come back !!!

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.

For the cost per night of this hotel ($450 per night for the 1 King Bed room) I was expecting something nicer and roomier. The room had no closet/dresser to store clothes nor did it have a full length mirror or a safe, which feel like standard things to expect in a room, especially one being marketed as “more boutique/upscale” for this area. The shower situation in the bathroom is quite annoying. It is a narrow, stall style shower, but instead of having a glass door, there is a thin bath curtain that sticks to your body the entire time. Also, since there is no tight seal, water gets absolutely everywhere. The front desk/check-in receptionist was not from the area and was not able to provide any bar/restaurant recommendations when asked. It would make more sense to place people familiar with the area in customer facing roles. Lastly, we checked into our room Saturday afternoon and when we left the next day (late morning) the trash was in the same spot, unattended to. Both discarded items in front of various rooms and large contractor style trash bags that clearly came from Housekeeping/Janitorial staff etc. The smell and visual left little to be desired. Next time I am in Providence I would choose to stay elsewhere.

We stayed here for one night to attend my brother’s graduation ceremony at RISD. The hotel is conveniently located and very clean as its a new facility in the town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend people to stay.

Only stayed one night, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Staff who checked us in was friendly and helpful. They seem to have thought of everything -- including providing mints and homemade cookies in our room, having a well-stocked common room with coffee/tea/hot chocolate/ice/wine and champagne glasses and wine buckets available. Our room faced the highway, but the windows were well-designed to block out highway noise so it was not a problem. There was a white noise machine in the bedroom in case you needed it anyway. Breakfast was very good -- lots of choices. Room was large, bathroom was clean, and bed was comfortable with amazing sheets! The B&B is lovely, clean, and conveniently located near downtown Providence and many local universities. I will stay here again for sure. It was so much nicer than staying in a cookie-cutter hotel.
