“Clean and comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

This was a very typical Marriott - very nice with a nice Marriott bed. We requested a rollaway which they provided- really big one and comfy for my daughter. The bathroom was so pretty - nice shower and many nice touches with the shampoos, etc.
We ordered room service which was quick and really delicious (we had the flatbread pizza). Parking is 28 dollars and they were quick and efficient retrieving our car. We stayed here while at a cheerleading convention - very close to the convention center which is a big plus.

“Masonic Digs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

The Renaissance in Providence is a gem, a re-converted Masonic temple, only a block from the massive Providence Mall. Everything about our experience at this hotel was terrific. It had a wonderful gym, the staff was exceptionally helpful, and the location across from the State Capitol was fantastic. Great view of the Capitol building from our room, which was spacious and tastefully furnished. Plenty of places in the lobby to sit down and quietly read and the valet staff was very attentive. Staff even served tea and coffee at off hours. All in all, an absolutely wonderful experience

Room Tip: Ask for view of Capitol. High floor had little street noise.

“"Train Wreck"”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Arrived Sunday night - $28 for valet parking (in Providence!??)

Burger at the bar was way overcooked (possibly "double-cooked")

Asked for a wake-up call. Never received one.

Housekeeping was banging on the doot at 8 AM (even though there was a newpaper on the floor outside of the room!)

Won't be back.....

Thank you for your feedback and I do apologize that we did not exceed your expectation on this visit. As we are rated #1 in our market on Trip Advisor, I can assure you that this was an isolated instance and we would love to have the opportunity in the future to regain your confidence. In relation to our valet parking charge, it is equivalent to similar hotels in our market, it is valet service only and all vehicles are parked in a secure, covered environment accessible only to our team, this also includes 24 hour access to your vehicle with unlimited in and out privileges. In Providence we do consider this rate a value compared to parking charges in surrounding cities. Thank you once again for your feedback.

“Renaissance Hotel, Providence Rhode Island”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

This is a great location if you are heading to Providence, Rhode Island. Rooms are large, clean and location is perfect. You can walk everywhere and great restaurants are located nearby (within walking distance). We went for New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. Get a room overlooking the Capital. We plan on going back!
