Most people recommended me to see Federal hill (where these is a lot of Italian dinning) but honestly I really liked fox hill! Lots of cute shops (thrifting, antiquing, blown glass) and cute places to eat! And for sure walk by Indian point park.

There is an apparent homeless epidemic in the area. Management must stay abreast of this problem and its impact on customer traffic.
"I have stayed here multiple times now! The staff and everyone are always very accommodating. Such a nice change from the standard chain hotel experience such as Marriot and Hilton. They do an incredibly nice job when it comes to the boutique hotel experience."
"The room and accommodations were comfortable and quiet and the pool area was very nice. The biggest bonus though was the immensely pleasant and friendly staff. After a long trip accross the country, they were so kind and helpful and got us into our room quickly and with much needed humor and kindness. It was also really quick, cheap and easy to lyft around to the various areas of Providence. Highly recommend."
"Prime location, right next to the State House, didn’t have a view of it but it must’ve been really nice. The lobby is inviting with great staff and an amazing scent. Room was very clean, the shower had great pressure, and bed was very very comfortable. There’s a mall on the next block and was in a very walkable area to the fountains. "
"The service and location exceeded my expectations. However, when I left, I found a bug on the bathroom wall. Still, I give it 5 stars and I will be back. "
"Our family had a fantastic last-minute stay at Hotel Providence. The location can’t be beat; it is in walking distance from almost anything you could want to do in Providence. Our room (two queen beds) was clean, spacious and comfortable. The “continental” breakfast buffet was nicer than a typical continental breakfast, with several hot options and lots of fresh fruit. I would absolutely stay here again!"
