    I'll probably look to stay elsewhere if I return to the city, but over all a quality stay.

    For the price—nearly $1,000 for the stay—I was surprised to be placed on the first floor, and I would have appreciated being asked if that was acceptable during check-in. While the location of the room at the far end of the hallway turned out to be quiet, the view of a parking garage wasn’t appealing. The valet parking was $40 a day, which seemed high, though I’m not sure how that compares to other hotels in the area. Breakfast was decent but not memorable. None of these were deal-breakers, but for the cost, I expected a bit more in terms of room placement and overall dining quality.

    The valet parking was very convenient, with a simple QR code system to request your car when needed. The room itself was spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed with a door connecting the bathroom to the bedroom closet. It was also exceptionally quiet, helped by the hallway doors that block noise from the lobby and by being tucked away at the end of the hall. The on-site Public restaurant was a great option for breakfast at a reasonable price, and the bar was perfect for a convenient nightcap. The hotel’s location made it easy to walk to some excellent nearby restaurants. Check-in was smooth, staff were friendly, and check-out was quick and simple. Overall, the combination of comfort, quiet, and convenience made for a pleasant stay.

    Thought valet parking was too expensive given abundant parking in the area and long wait times to retrieve vehicles.

    The location is very central with great views of the Rhode Island State House

    Stayed on the 8th floor did not realize it was an obstructed view was bummed about that. The coffee creamer in room was curdled. I also hated that we paid $78 for breakfast that was very expensive and nothing to write home about. We did not end up using valet parking because of an event next door it was causing back up and traffic. I had to park on the street. We were not going to be waiting forever for valet. We wanted to get into the hotel and start relaxing.

    The room was clean and fresh! Staff was so nice and the convenience to the restaurant on the ground floor was great.

    We tried to get something to eat in the pub/bar downstairs after the show. They were closing in 25 minutes and the waitress and host were not happy. The bar tender on the other hand made us feel welcome and wanted to know if we wanted to drinks.

    We were there to see "Another Tequila Sunrise" an Eagles Tribute Band at the VET. It was amazing! The hotel was right next door. It was freezing, so the short 5 second walk was great! We loved being close to the venue.
