  • I liked when I checked out.
  • Room accommodations, front desk, price.

“Please don't be fooled by the gorgeous and elegant lobby. You may end up with a "deluxe room" just big enough for a king size bed, a bathroom with a cracked sink that leaks all the water into your feet as you brush your teeth and a front desk that invites you to go get your toothpaste downstairs in case you request some. We had the impression we were put into their pet's room, but I think even fife would not like the room. Just in case you are wondering if all this can be true in a hotel with such good reputation, we took some pictures.”

  • Wonderful comfortable beds.
  • No mini-bar, bottled water or minifridge.

“The rooms that have been refurbished are very nice. The ones that have not are very out-dated. Be sure to ask! Great location and if the weather is bad, you can stay for meals at the wonderful restaurant there. They make good drinks too!”

  • The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable.
  • No sound proofing, a couple came in at 3 am in the next room and kept me up for 3 hours.

“While the bed allowed for a comfortable sleep, I was woken by a boisterous couple in the next room at 3 am. I was also slightly disappointed by the business accommodations, I left a message with the business center without a return call.”

  • The new rooms are very nice
  • The older rooms are terrible

“Having just read the reviews, I thought I would add this:

I've stayed at the Biltmore 3 times. The first 2 stays were NOT good - I was given very old rooms/suites which were in serious need of renos. I later learned that there were rooms which had been renovated and we stayed in one in Sprin '04. So BEWARE you must insist on a new room.

By the way no one has reviewed a new hotel - HOTEL PROVIDENCE - 3ll Westminster St. We had a great stay there in Spring '05. Fabulouse restaurant - L'Epicureo - formerly from Federal Hill.”

  • The common rooms are beautiful.
  • The guest rooms need a little updating with fresh paint, etc.

“The Providence Biltmore is truly a 'grande dame' hotel. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the location is prime, right downtown, a short walk from the new motel and a longer walk or short car ride to either Brown University or Federal Hill restaurants. The guest rooms are clean but a slightly in need of fresh paint and sprucing up. We have stayed here twice and would look forward to staying here again.”

  • convenient location. Impressive lobby.
  • Horrible air conditioning.

“Valet was excellent.Front desk was average.Lobby looked impressive, but when I got to my room I found carpets were dirty around walls, the bathroom vent did not work and pieces of paint and wallpaper were missing from the walls.VERY poor air conditioning.When asked for a comb, which they state they provide when asked, they were out.”

  • The lobby was beautiful
  • Wall paper was peeling in rooms, hallways need updating

“The jr. suite rooms were large although we were upgraded only after we complained about our first room smelling of smoke. The hallways are very dated looking. This could be a great hotel but it needs some work. I would not have called it a 3 star.”

  • It was old
  • My room Leaked, there was no on site parking, getting in and out of the area was a mess.

“The Biltmore may be a old hotel with a history but, for this day and age it is inadequate for todays tourist.”

  • Conveniently located
  • Mattress and pillows were worn out and provided little support and parking was $22.00 a day plus tips every time you took the car out.

“The Biltmore is an older hotel conveniently located in the heart of Providence. The staff is helpful and the rooms clean. The mattress, however had lost its ability to provide support and the pillows were flat as well. Parking costs an additional $20 something a day plus tips for the valet every time you take the car out. Still the beautiful wood varnished lobby and restaurant provide a warmtn as well as a genteel look into what I imagine a gentleman's club might have looked like at the turn of the last century. There is computer access in the lobby for guests to use to check E-Mail or print documents.”
