Hotels in Smithfield, RI from $85

Loved it. Will come back soon... Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place in the area.

Picked this hotel based on the reviews after I canceled a trip to another destination yet still wanted a getaway. Hotel reminded me of a more European counterpart, with a very upbeat and modern vibe open circling through the revolving door. They pump in some sort of scent, had great tunes playing and just met us with smiles during our 10pm check-in after a long drive. We used the valet service, easy every time to retrieve our car during the trip. Room was a standard king, very clean, bathroom was very pretty with Aveda products...identical to the pics. Here and there I saw some minor wear, like a missing hook In bathroom, or paint off bottom of bathroom door, but just extremely minor wear and tear. Room came with an iron, which worked great, but a dinky blow dryer, with no nozzle. Wish more hotels would upgrade their blowdryers, simple upgrade. Other than that, I would totally stay at a Renaissance again. Yes, you can walk to RSID and the three campuses near the river very easily, and have options for dinner within walking distance. There's even a Nordstrom Right behind the hotel if you need to do some Shopping for forgotten items. It's not as central a location as the other hotels, but their reviews were cringeworthy. I'd stay there again if I head back up to Providence without any hesitation.
