Having gone to college in Providence, my husband and I decided to take a weekend away before the summer ended and decided on Providence. We heard there was a new hotel (Hotel Providence) and cancelled another hotel reservation to give it a try. Overall, beautiful hotel, attentive service. Air conditioning did not work well. Restaurant for dinner was only decent with spotty service (after hearing rave reviews, we were disappointed). Hotel provides buffet breakfast for $16 pp. Aweful is our review, to be kind. Luckily my husband had arranged for the ""romance package"" which not only included breakfast but champagne, chocolates, and dinner the nigth before. Package was well worth it. Breakfast--we went else where after being ""grossed out"". We would definitely stay there again--friendly staff, beautiful decor--but would opt to dine elsewhere.
