Hampton Inn & Suites

“City Hampton Inn, consistent experience with brand.”

The location is close (quick drive) to Brown’s campus and walkable to some nice places to eat. We were pretty surprised how much parking was, which added to an already high price for a Hampton Inn. The room was decent size. The pull out did not have sheets on it and the bag of linen they gave us… lisää

The location is close (quick drive) to Brown’s campus and walkable to some nice places to eat. We were pretty surprised how much parking was, which added to an already high price for a Hampton Inn. The room was decent size. The pull out did not have sheets on it and the bag of linen they gave us did not feel clean. I would be amenable to returning because location was good but the price felt high for the experience. Staff were friendly.

“Great location, nice room w/city views.”

Chk in clerk was a bit abrupt, unfriendly & did not say welcome just asked for “ID” then barked the information to me like an auctioneer - fast and robot-like. She handed us two bottles of water (my husband was hoping for a freshly baked cookie! 😉) Parking (valet) is $38 not mentioned on Booking.c… lisää

Chk in clerk was a bit abrupt, unfriendly & did not say welcome just asked for “ID” then barked the information to me like an auctioneer - fast and robot-like. She handed us two bottles of water (my husband was hoping for a freshly baked cookie! 😉) Parking (valet) is $38 not mentioned on Booking.com There is a surface lot due east w/24 hour attendant that charges $30. Nice spacious room, felt elegant. Nice comfy couch, coffee table & TV. Large bathroom. Nice views out the windows of the downtown area. No refrigerator. Good breakfast. Liked the dining room and the room next to it that had some interesting items (letter box, hurricane flood level markers from previous years, a church sign). The dining room had a high ceiling and windows. This led me to research & find out later (after checkout) that part of the site used to be the Old Colony Bank (c. 1836) & more recently a chapel & friary for St. Francis Church. This hotel won a Rhody design award for historical preservation & rehabilitation. In Providence Business News (PBC) an article dated 10/19/09 stated, in part, “The notable former owners are honored on the mezzanine level (second floor) both in name and style. The 450-square-foot Old Colony Room boasts the original ornately-framed mirror above the decadent wood fireplace with traditional crown molding and wood paneling throughout. The 440-square-foot St. Francis Room features the antique chandeliers from the former church and has been upgraded with a wet bar area for intimate gatherings.” Maybe I missed the plaque commemorating this honor but I would have loved to see the unique architectural items on mezzanine level noted in the news article I found above on the internet about this hotel! Conveniently located near & within walking distance to the first Baptist Church in the USA, Brown University, “I am Still Here” mural, Kennedy plaza, etc. The State House is not far by car, as well. Asia, desk clerk, was friendly at check-out.

“Shuttle service is above & beyond!”

This hotel is at a great location and has an amazing staff. The shuttle service is super convenient and the driver is so friendly and knows a lot about the city. They will take you anywhere within 2 miles, and pick you up! Room was clean, beds were too firm for my preference. Breakfast was deliciou… lisää

We did valet after seeing the parking situation around the hotel and did not regret it.

“Not great”

Not the most friendly staff. Room looked like it was due for renovation. You can see wear and tear throughout the room with heavy usage.
