Omni Providence Hotel
Great location. Easily walkable to local restaurants and bars. Room was modern and clean. They even clean the room each day and leave fresh towels and amenities. You don’t see that very much anymore. Just wish they had free WiFi.

Neptune, an Ash Hotel
Loved the property, it had a historic, cozy feel. Only things would suggest for the room is a reading light next to the chair and a full length mirror behind the door.
