Favorite hotel stay of our east coast trip. Beautiful building, especially lit up at night. Walkable to the Riverwalk, very safe area. Spotless and spacious room. Fantastic bathroom amenities. The most quiet HVAC in a hotel ever. Great breakfast in the onsite restaurant.

Easy check-in. Clean, spacious room. Great place to stay if you're going to an event at the Veterans Auditorium, which is right next door, or anywhere else in Providence for that matter. And, you can have dinner or drinks at a very nice restaurant below before or after the show.

The Renaissance is a convenient location to all things happening in the city. It is a very well maintained property. There is no staff to help with luggage so locate a luggage rack if you are traveling heavy. The bar tender Sean makes an excellent martini.

Overnight stay was okay - I’m not sure, but it seems that when booking with a third party (Expedia in this case) the hotel staff (or algorithm) places guests in a small room with the air conditioner equipment view. It has happened before. I feel companies like Expedia should address this issue.

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.

Very clean; staff and valet very attentive; gym was large, well equipped and clean; lots of high quality products provided in room such as cream, body wash, etc.; beds were very comfortable and clean with thick comforter (also had extra blanket in closet); surrounding area was safe and beautiful to walk around during day or evening with river views and bridges all over downtown.
