I booked this hotel from Expedia for 4 days in July (12th-16th). In May I cancelled it (so in PLENTY OF TIME.) Fast forward to July 13th, I get a notification of a charge (it was declined because I didn’t have the money in my account) for the full amount of my stay. I called the hotel to ask them why because I had cancelled it already. Guy at the desk informs me that they never got the cancellation from Expedia. I told him I had the email and asked him if there was anything else I needed to do. He said no, since the charge was declined anyway. I then get 3 separate charges of $25 each ($75 total was charged to my card) on my account today from the hotel (after a charge of almost $200 was declined on my account.) I call the hotel again, and was informed again that they never got the cancellation. I explained everything, but it didn’t matter. I was told to contact Expedia and have them call the hotel directly to confirm the cancellation. So I did. Expedia calls them, tells them they have the confirmation of the cancellation (I still have the cancellation email as proof) and they told Expedia that they didn’t get the cancellation and would not be refunding me! I don’t know what more they want. I have the email I’ve offered to forward to them. Expedia themselves called them (as per request) and they STILL decide refuse my refund! Even if it was a mistake on Expedia’s end, why punish me and continue to charge me even after having proof of cancellation. Very slimy. Don’t give this place your money!

My two grandkids, my wife and I stayed at this hotel for two nights. I had two suite upgrade certificates left in my Bonvoy account and decided this would be a great time to use them. The chances of getting upgraded is usually about 50-50. I called the hotel a couple of days ahead of our arrival and explained that a suite would be extremely appreciated with our 9 and 11 year-old grandkids. I asked if I could put in a separate request for a suite based on my Lifetime Titanium status. She said no problem and would attach a note to our reservation. The day before our arrival, I got a notification that we had been upgraded with the certificates to a 720 sq. ft. king suite with an incredible view of the capitol. We arrived early and our suite was still occupied, so William took all our information and said he would notify my when the room was ready. We took the kids to the Museum of Natural History and the Planetarium. Upon exiting the planetarium I saw a notification that our room was ready. We checked in and the room was beyond our expectations! The sixth floor suite had an amazing view of the Capitol. We settled in and my grandson could not get internet access for his Nintendo switch. We went to the front desk and Nicola tried to help but couldn’t get it to work. So she gave us a number for IT support. We walked down to Providence Place and had dinner at the food court. When we returned he called the IT guy and he was connected in less than 5 minutes! Thank you Nicola!! We had access to the Club Lounge and picked up some sodas and waters. The next morning we had breakfast in the Club Lounge. The food included fried eggs, sausage, fruit and pastry items, coffee, and juices. The following morning the choice was scrambled eggs and bacon. Robert, the gentleman in charge kept everything stocked and the room clean. The following day we took the kids to Newport to tour the mansions. We got back around 6pm. The rooms were cleaned and looked pristine. The bathroom was huge. It was handicapped accessible. The shower had plenty of pressure and hot water. The room a/c worked great. We departed after breakfast. Hanna quickly checked us out. The room bill was perfect. The valet guys were great. The kids were already talking about when we could return. We can’t wait to return to this historical (former) Masonic hall.

Choosing this home, the price is OK, not too far from the city center, the room is a bit old, fairly clean and tidy. There is also an antique piano in the hall that can be played. The breakfast is worth mentioning, the stock is sufficient, and there is a machine for self-baked waffles and pancakes. The children like to roast and like it, eating a lot of cakes. It’s just a shop selling cars nearby, but there is a stop shop and a KFC. The next day I found out that I went to a nearby Chinese buffet. It’s very good!

We stayed here for one night to attend my brother’s graduation ceremony at RISD. The hotel is conveniently located and very clean as its a new facility in the town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend people to stay.

I just read the other reviews and feel almost like I'm reviewing a different motel. Originally the room was $79/night but we upgraded to a room with a 'kitchenette' for an additional $10. The upgrade consisted of a tiny fridge and a little microwave. Maybe I was expecting a bit more, like a coffee pot. No tub, only a shower. The woman at the front desk seemed to be clueless about the area and where to find things. Housekeeping was nice. The room was clean enough but too expensive for what we got; maybe worth $60 a night.

We stayed here while we were attending the NABC in Providence. The cold buffet breakfast was quick, adequate. Room was neat, AC good, reasonably quiet. At first it’s a little tricky getting around the hotel, having to take an elevator from the room to the 1st floor only to catch another elevator up to the 2nd. This is because there’s East and West wings of the hotel. For some reason they have the escalator connecting the 1st and 2nd floor closed. For me, I’d ask to take it a step further and let us take the stairs to and from our rooms, get some natural exercise. I suppose there’s liability issues with that. Otherwise, we were happy at the Omni for the 5 days were there in July.

The beautiful environment of the hotel is a classic in the century-old architecture. In the literary city center, the interior has modern facilities and the service is very warm. The lobby also provides guests with delicious drinks and desserts. The public areas are quiet and elegant, and the surrounding environment has a cultural heritage. The famous mural wall is in the surrounding area, which is a good choice for home travel.

Although hotel is undergoing renovations noise was kept to a minimum. Only one morning did we hear noise. Disappointed that pool undergoing major renovation so it was closed. Room was clean upon arrival. Bed was comfortable. Nice selection of breakfast foods and area kept very clean and fully stocked by the 2 breakfast servers we had met. Front desk staff friendly and helpful. Hotel location ideal to restaurants, shopping and attractions. Safe area. Lots of parking available.

The hotel is right next to the high-speed, there is a supermarket nearby, and shopping is still very convenient. Breakfast is an ordinary breakfast and you can make your own waffles. The front desk was very welcoming, the room and hygiene were not very big, the 2 beds were 150CM. 4 adults live a little crowded, 2 adults 2 children are OK, there is wireless WIFI.
