Vacations Close To Varnum Memorial Armory

Our bathroom walls had poorly patched nail holes showing and the conditioner bottle was empty. There were no chairs in the room, only padded boxes to sit on. Little things, I know, but I noticed.

I like this hotel a lot, and I will stay here when I'm in town. One thing is that the walls between rooms are thin, so you can hear everything from next door. So, maybe, I wil ask the desk

My son and I stayed here the evening before he took the SAT nearby. The positives: spacious, clean, kitchen, good hot water pressure in the bathroom, comfortable beds. Less positive: the unit is up three flights of stairs (and there is a flight to enter the house) so a bad choice for anyone ill or with mobility issues; the area is loud late at night because it’s on Brown’s campus; and it is very expensive. The parking feels tight but is free and restaurants and CVS are a short drive away.

Our first time in Providence travelling from NZ. The Graduate (Formerly Biltmore) was top of our list, being an historical hotel. Absolutely beautiful & as interesting inside as we thought it would be. As your average middle class guest - the room was one of the best we have stayed in. Beautifully appointed and a large size too! It definitely didn't break the bank either. Centrally positioned for what we wanted to see and do. The car park was opposite, not directly on site, but a discount is applicable when a guest at the hotel. Unfortunately, it is directly opposite a park (lovely you would think) and there was a 'mental' music event on which went on until very, very late. Maybe we didn't do our due diligence & definitely out of the hotel's control, but it was a freaking nightmare. One of the lovely receptionists was very empathetic and eventually our room was changed to the other side of the building - thank heavens! I don't know how often these concerts take place, but definitely something to be aware of. We definitely were not the only ones that were complaining that night!
