Great job from all

This hotel is all about image and appealing on Instagram, and bad at most of the functional requirements of being a hotel. The bar and restaurant were hard to access. The coffee bar didn't open because staff didn't show up. The room is spartan to the point of uncomfortable.

Location

It was close to the arena for the Providence Bruins game.

location and vibe were great. no need to tay at the big box conference hotel. stay here and take a break from work people.

Wonderful style, charm, and a perfect location in the city. Fine enough if you want a special place to spend a night. And a special mention to an old world elevator that makes the whole experience just a bit more magical.

Tolle Lage in guter Gehweite zum College Hill RISD als auch gute Restaurants in unmittelbare Nähe.

The beds are comfortable and a good size. The coffee bar is excellent and dogs are welcome!

Location is great. Most of the small staff is great. Coffee shop onsite is a plus, but be aware there are NO decaf or no-caf options except water and hot chocolate - there are full service coffee shops very close though. Parking in the lots is expensive, but with a little planning, you can park on the street overnight for free, right in front of the hotel. We had a Queen Room. It was clean and in good condition, but no place to hang clothes other than a couple of hooks on the wall with some hangers, and no dresser or shelves (we used the wide window sills as shelves). Bed was comfortable but squeaky; would not be good for a light sleeper. We did not hear much noise from the karaoke bar downstairs although we were only on the second floor. There was some street noise, but less than expected, given the hotel’s location. The bathroom is TINY, almost European in size; a larger person would have trouble in the shower. The heat was unreliable; we had to get the staff to manually reset it in the basement twice during our 3-night stay, but they were very gracious about it. The plumbing in the toilet was a little finicky, often requiring a couple of flushes. It’s a quirky old building with an interesting history in an excellent location. Overall, we had a nice stay.

It’s a funky old downtown hotel, a several steps up from the sidewalk. A friendly clerk handles check in at the desk and explains that there is hotel bar, but only open on certain nights, and a coffee shop only open in the mornings. She finds the bellman, who then carries your bags up with cheerful solicitude. The main hotel is another half dozen steps up.
The lobby is small, with black couches and bad lighting. Neon signs decorate here and there, and a generous expanse of mirrors expand the sense of space. The floors are tile or planking with occasional rugs.
From the main floor, you go up in a “Lift” that has a door on hinges that opens on a steel cage that slowly travels up and down in a concrete shaft that you could reach out and touch as it slides past, if you were so foolish. The concrete is raw between floors, but painted red at each floor. I’m told the hotel was once a brothel.
The lights are garish, I can say that. None meant for reading. All dim and glaring at the same time. The halls are shadowy.
The room is dark with spots of illumination at key points. When the sun comes in the western windows, the light is good. There is a vintage half-couch that molds you into a laid-back posture almost like a hammock. Hm.
The television is easy to operate, unlike in most hotels. A tiny desk allows work at a laptop. There are plenty of electrical outlets.
The bathroom is black tile, gloomy, and there is no hot water.
The bed is big and comfortable, with adequate covers and good pillows.
Several good bars are just around the corner.
The esthetic seems to be artsy threadbare. Would I stay again? No.

This place has interesting room design and I loved the tile-work in the bathroom and old-style decorative incandescent lighting. The rooms are small but all I need is a bed and a bathroom so it's perfect for me.
