First, this hotel is smack dab in the middle of walkable providence. The lobby is a beautifully crafted masterpiece frozen in time from a bygone era.

The hotel staff were very courteous and informative. The valet was very prompt and courteous. The parking options are valet or park in a garage, it was cheaper to just go with the valet.

The room itself was beautiful with a gorgeous view of downtown and providence river. The bathtub was quite large and the amenities were great.

CONS:
We visited around April or May and it was decently warm. We paid the full price of the room. My only complaint about this place was the lack of AC and how uncomfortable the bed and pillows were which is 1/2 the experience. Here is my review from trip advisor copied below.

So, it was really stuffy in the room. There is a temp control unit but it only does heat. Be aware that it will get stuffy and hot in this room. The hotel itself is beautiful and historic. That's where you get the bang for your buck

The pillows suck. I used two and my head fell through like a brick. So my neck hurts this morning. But the hotel is gorgeous and the view is gorgeous. So if your staying be prepared to stay 1940 style with NO AC and the windows don't open.

It's centrally located in downtown and It was super convenient to be able to walk all over and come back when we wanted to.

Valet is 35$ but you get in and out.

I would not stay here again because of the pillows and AC. But I'm glad I did at least once for the beautiful experience.
