My husband and I stay at NYLO - Warwick whenever we're in Rhode Island, and we've always had a fantastic experience. The hotel itself is in a converted brick factory, located right on the river. parking is ample, and we've never had a problem finding a spot. They do offer valet for those who don't want to park their own car. I love the charm of it. The inside of the main lobby is very chic and industrial looking with exposed brick, concrete and duct work. There is a little library section with books and magazines and very comfortable chairs. Usually the lobby is lit by only soft lighting and candlelight, which I think really softens up the industrial feel of the room. There is a restaurant there....it always smells wonderful, though we've never eaten there. The bar/lounge area is spacious - and there are multiple plush couches and chairs to sit on. On weekends we do like to reserve a couch on the deck over looking the river, just for a change of scenery. They do have cocktail waitresses who make their rounds between the deck and lounge area so you don't have to fight your way through the crowds (it does get busy there on weekends) to get a drink. I absolutely love the guests rooms. The floor and walls are concrete and there is a wall mounted flat panel TV in the rooms. For those used to carpeted hotel rooms, it can feel a little cold. I personally think it just has a clean and fresh feeling to it. The Queen size bed is large, fluffy, and is like sleeping on a cloud. My favorite part is the shower - it does have a rain head nozzle which I absolutely love, so I always end up taking an extra long shower while there. The only negative is that because the bar area is a huge draw on the weekends, you'll sometimes have to deal with the drunks going back up to their rooms (noisily at that) after the bar shuts down for the night. Overall this hotel is a gem. Put this in NYC and you'll pay $250/night easily for this boutique hotel. Because it's in Warwick, RI of all places, join their email list and you'll get constant promos for $79/night. I know this hotel isn't currently open due to the hard hit it took during the RI flooding recently, but it is slated to reopen in the fall of 2010 and I can't wait to go back.

I love this hotel. Before the flood I was staying there atleast twice a month. I recommend getting on their email list. They email you awesome promos for 50 bucks a night on weekends. The place is beautiful and very fun. I recommend it for the younger crowd over 21. The restaurant turns into a club after 9:30 and the place is packed but it's an incredible atmosphere. Go there as much as possible

We booked the Nylo because we thought it was so cool. Well I found out I am not cool enough. The place was very very hip and chic. The main entrance is efficient and very clean. We had the river view and the rooms are a tad to tight for me. The surrounding of cement made me a bit uncomfortable. The smell of wet cement was a bit much for my comfort. If you like plush carpet and painted walls with wood furniture, this wont work for you. I will say the beds are the best though. The staff is very good, the breakfast is decent and the room is really neat for a younger group.
The main complaint of this hotel is that is keeps a $50.00 a night deposit for a few days if you do not use a Visa. Debit takes forever. I am not a charge person. I use debit, pay it and go. I dont like that they have to hold over $200.00 of my money.

I booked 2 rooms at NYLO after planning a quick family trip to Boston from NY. I lived in Rhode Island for a few years and I know that Warwick is approximately an hour away from Boston. Being so close to the highway, I knew it was a good pick. I was pleasantly surprised with the impressive design of the hotel. After arriving back from an evening in Boston, we entered a very different hotel than the one we left. I knew that there was a "club" on the ground floor but i was not aware it would create such a scene....it was almost like I was back in Manhattan. It was certainly entertaining. We had rooms on both sides of the hotel and to be honest, we could hear the club music on the side that the club was on but it ended at 1am (i think) so it really didn't bother us. The staff was very accomodating. When we wanted to order bottles of wine for our room, we ordered them thru the club and they brought them up for us. The next morning, we went to the restuarant and had a really nice breakfast. There is a really nice terrace that would be nice to have drinks on. I would definelty recommend the hotel to anyone needing to stay in Warwick/Providence area. This is definelty a young, hip hotel but the price is budget friendly.
