Lovely historic building renovated into a lovely small inn. Beautifully appointed rooms, Delish breakfast and a quick drive to downtown. Providence is a really fun walkable city!

Room was nice. The property was really interesting (old house). Breakfast room was very charming. The actual breakfast was a bit underwhelming, but overall the place was as advertised.

Stayed in room six. Everything was good, but I wish the room had a curtain as it made it more difficult to sleep.

An absolutely gorgeous hotel. Room was huge and well turned out with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast really hit the spot and I felt welcomed from the second I got there. I can not recommend the Wedding Cake House more.

House is historic and eclectic. Rooms are very private.
Complimentary breakfast was great. Staff is amazing. Parking was included. Neighborhood has plenty of restaurants and social spots within walking distance. Only negative was no tv in room.

What a wonderful stay! The house was creatively renovated, and the room was quaint and charming. Our eat-in breakfast spread was simple but very special. Also very friendly! Thank you!

Very quick trip to Providence, and we were lucky the Wedding Cake House happened to have one room left, an affordable room, I might add, unlike a lot of other hotels in the area. We had a spacious room, funky and historic vibe all at the same time, in an area with lots of amenities and quick to downtown or Brown. The clawfoot tub even had a shower with good water pressure! I loved the decor and the spirit of the place.
