Lodging in Providence

 Picking a hotel can be a complicated process with many different variables. If you’re looking for lodging in the Providence area, you have quite a few places to choose from, from the affordable to the luxurious.

If you’re looking for a comfortable room at an affordable price, you may want to take a look at the Comfort Inn at Two George Street in Pawtucket. Although not technically in Providence, it’s only about a five minute drive to downtown Providence, and has rooms available for around, and sometimes less than, 100 dollars a night. Their rooms are clean and comfortable, they have an gym and an indoor pool, and pets are allowed to stay. If you’ve ever tried to travel with pets, you’ll know what a relief that is.

For more upscale accommodations in the heart of Providence, you could certainly do worse than the Hotel Providence on Mathewson Street, a beautifully-furnished four-star hotel. Even if you have a house to stay in, you’ll still be tempted to stay at the Hotel Providence for their unparalleled comfort. However, as with any hotel in downtown Providence, the Hotel Providence tends to fill up when there’s a big event in town.

You can’t talk Providence hotels without talking about the Biltmore. Built in 1922, the Providence Biltmore has been a Providence landmark for nearly a century, and, until the 1990s, was Rhode Island’s tallest and largest hotel. The Biltmore has nearly 300 rooms, many of which allow pets.

If you’re going to be in Providence for an extended period of time, check in at the Hotel Dolce Villa on DePasqualePlaza in Providence, right off of Atwell’s Avenue. Their suites have full kitchens, fireplaces, and whirlpool tubs. All this adds up to a long-term stay that beats a motel by a mile. Enjoy complimentary biscotti and hot chocolate, memory foam mattresses, and a 20% discount at select local restaurants.
