“night away...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Our recent night away at the Biltmore Hotel did not disappoint. The valet attendants at check in and out were friendly and efficient. Our room was not quite ready when we checked in but was ready within the time frame quoted by the front desk clerk. We had a king suite (two rooms) that was spacious and comfortable. Although it was a bit cold in the living room. The windows were somewhat drafty. The shelf in the bathroom could have been a little bigger . We enjoyed looking at the memorabilia that was available on the second floor. The chamber maid was a help when I closed our door with both of our keys inside. It was a "classic" hotel that was conveniently located within many restaurants, attractions and the Providence Place Mall. We would definitely return for another stay.

We travel to Rhode Island on business and I was happy this hotel was again chosen as our hotel! The room was as nice as the year before - quiet, sumptuous, comfortable.

“All King Rooms are across from the elevator bank.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Asked for a quiet room with my reservation. However I ended up with a room directly across from the elevators. When I called to see if I could switch rooms the woman at the front desk told me that all the rooms in this price range (traditional king) were across from the elevators. So I've been hearing beeping all night. I've actually never written a negative review before in all my traveling but this is incredibly annoying. The room is pretty run down and small also. I wouldn't stay here again.

“Enjoyable stay at the Providence Biltmore”

It was the location, reputation and price that made our selection of the Providence Biltmore. Attentive staff, comfortable rooms and great location in downtown Providence. We plan to return again.

“DONT GO THERE!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I went to this hotel for the location and for the reputation it had from when I used to live there. Well, the lobby looked great, valet parking, good location in downtown. They give a good deal in the rooms because they charge $26.00 for parking. I wouldn't have cared if the rooms were up to date. The rooms are old, the hallways smell old and funny....When we got to our room the bed linens are old, the wallpaper is coming out and the walls were cracked. Too bad, this is the Biltmore in Providence, a classic. Will never go back! I usually don't write reviews but this one I had to!
