“Great use of an old mill - we will be back”
The place looks like something out of a modern architecture magazine. It has been expertly renovated. The only problem is that they used about one third of the old factory and the unused portions are still there - just really run-down. It shows the contrast but also makes the area a bit "seedy." It is right on a river - which is probably nice in warmer weather.
The public area and restaurant on the first floor is a great juxtaposition against the old brick of the mill. We only went to the restaurant for breakfast (which was quite good) but the restaurant and bar were hopping at night with a young crowd.
Our 5th floor loft was very contemporary with a king-sized platform bed, painted concrete floors, a huge window behind the bed, and very high exposed ceilings. There was a comfortable sofa and a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall that could swivel so it could be seen from virtually anywhere in the room. The bed was very comfortable.
One issue is that there were virtually no drawers (similar to sparse European rooms) so we really had to just live for the 3 days out of our suitcases. Not a problem for a long weekend.
The bathroom was contemporary but a little too "open" for me. It was more like a semi-enclosed closet so you could hear every sound.
We were visiting famly for the holiday and wil definitely look into staying there next time we need to make the trip.
Area recommendations
There is not much in Warwick, except shopping malls, so if you stay here you will need to either drive north to Providence or south to the shore. However, we are talking 15 minutes in any direction.
