After a pleasant check-in with the polite staff, we found the room extremely cozy and spacious, with plenty of seating, towels and other complimentary items. Not to mention the easy (and plentiful!) parking. I also felt quite safe walking around outside day and night. The views can be gorgeous and the rooms and hallways are quiet and hospitable, it is also connected to a mall and convention center which was definitely a first; I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Providence whether it's for a day or a week!
