A good location and a...

Liked: Great location, friendly and attentive staff
Disliked: The room was drab, and stifling hot. It was hot even after turning the thermostat to fan mode; the paint was flaking in places, with pant flakes on the floor: the bathroom was cramped and the shower temperature handle was very loose and wobbly; there was no full length mirror, or any mirror, in the room. The hotel cafe was drab and sterile, with a small choice of pastries—no full breakfast.

Liked: Size of room
Disliked: Air con not working

Disappointing and not worth the...

Liked: The room was funky.
Disliked: Couldn’t have choice of heat or air con so had to have a little portable fan sent up. Ran shower and water was brown. Shame that the hotel doesn’t have its own bar or coffee shop. Hotel felt tired and a little run down. Also some of the nearby streets did not feel safe.

Poor

We would return.

Liked: Decor, location, staff. The hotel was quiet so we slept well.
Disliked: The elevator was not working efficiently this morning. The bath fixtures were dated.

'ppreciating history in Providence

Liked: an exceptional property in so many regards. A truly historic building, with fascinating architecture and design, we were given a simply huge room/suite (bedroom and sitting room). The decor was stunning, the Poindexter coffee shop was fabulous, and the hotel is central. We couldn't recommend this property more!
Disliked: Although it wasn't a major concern for us, the building was being switched from ac to heating on the occasion of our visit. Small heaters were provided, and we accepted the fact that historic buildings behave like historic buildings; they have their wrinkles! That being said, some forewarning would have been welcome, as would a small gesture in acknowledgement of the inconvenience (reduced rate parking, perhaps, or complimentary breakfast/coffee in Poindexters).
