8.4/10 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)

Unfortunately we only stayed one night but I found the Providence Hotel to be very quaint and comfortable. The property and the room were clean and the staff was super friendly. The free coffee and hot coco bars by the front desk was a great touch and the free breakfast had variety of options. When I read the reviews prior to our visit, I was concerned about the surrounding area but picked it due to the proximity to my son who I was visiting. The area itself was clean, walkable, and very pretty. It IS an urban area and the hotel is across from a church that serves the homeless, but who doesn’t appreciate that and at NO time did I feel unsafe!! I will be back to see my son and hope next time to stay for more than a night!!

An old fashion in the oldest tavern in America. As an old fashioned lover, this has been the best. And not just because I walked 3 miles for it! The recipe is with a walnut bitters, soaked cherries in brandy and with a cinnamon simple syrup ... I have to cut myself off after two!
