Providence Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Providence

10/10 Excellent

Neptune, an Ash Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel. The building has an interesting history. They did a great job renovating the building/space. The hotel has a nice style. Much more interesting than most hotels. I’d like to stay here again. Everything was very clean. Great coffee at the coffee bar in the lobby. Old fashion elevator. I didn’t get a chance to go to the bar downstairs, but I would next time."

Spacious 3BR Luxury Flat Private Parking & Gated Patio Yard

"Rooms are generally clean. Communication with host went well. Parking at the back not a problem. Improvement suggestion: There’s no closet or even hanging hooks for clothes in the rooms and bathroom. Should add hooks behind the doors and part of the wall plus hangers."
