“Spacious B&B, very friendly personnel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

Great location for visiting Brown University. The B&B seems rather small from the outside, but the hallway and room was actually quite spacious. A lovely man helped us to carry our bags up a flight of stairs and helped us to modify a "foreign to the US"-plug, which was very much appreciated.

Breakfast was OK. We were unsure how breakfast was served in this B&B and it did take the innkeeper about 5 minutes to appear and explain how everything worked in the mrining. For future guests; just choose a table and take a cup of coffee/ tea yourself. Someone will come and ask you if you wouild like a hot breakfast.

In short, lovely room, excellent location, good breakfast.

Room Tip: The Cameron room is very spacious and light. Good (private) bathroom with shower and tub.

“Very nice, would stay again.”

Great location, solid service and lots of charm - a recommendable place to stay.

Check-in was friendly and a staff member seemed to always be available for us if we needed them.

We stayed in the Marple room which was well-decorated, very well-maintained and larger than it looked in the website's photos. The bathroom had all the usual amenities and plenty of strong, hot water in the morning.

Breakfast was standard B&B fare; plenty of seating in the dining area. There are no other common areas for guests, but that worked for us.

The property has free parking in back (the hotels nearby charge $25 and up for parking) and it's easy walking distance to the city center and many restaurants. Benefit Street is lovely to stroll along. We were in town for WaterFire and found this to be a perfect location.

The only caveat is that there is no elevator in the event that flights of stairs are an issue for you or your traveling partners.

“Charming and Quaint in every sense, Providence nicer B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011

We stayed 2 nights at this charming B&B. Stayed in the Empire room and the Nightingale room and loved the cosy settings on both nights. Hearty breakfast is a plus!

Not the cheapest stay one can find in Providence but well worth every penny.

Highly recommended.

“A MASTERPIECE OF OLDE PROVIDENCE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

Stayed here many times. The neighborhood is redolent of the days of Poe and H. P. Lovecraft who both frequented the area at different times. "The Shunned House," Lovecraft's masterepoeice is actually located right across the street. Poe's favorite churchyard and many wonderful examples of unique architecture are within easy walking distance. The Old Court, a one-time rectory for the church nearby, is a delight with three floors and many different styles of rooms. Free breakfast in an elegant dining room and the food is great. Ask for Max and tell him Michael sent you. He's a very informative and genial host and you will have a wonderful and very quiet sleep.
Nightlife? Just walk down the hill to Cafe Noir for excellent dining and a very personable chef. Enjoy and be sure to go for a late night walk in Autumn. I swear I saw Poe and Lovecraft under an old gas lampost on Benefit Street chatting amiably while a black Cat brushed against both men. Google the place.

Room Tip: Any room is great but I like the corner suite on second floor that overlooks Benefit Street and the...
