Hotel Dengan Kolam di Pulau Rhode, Amerika Syarikat

The breakfast was great. The room was decent however, it was not the suite I booked, but luckily the support team at Trip.com were extremely helpful and understanding.

This was a solo stay on April 20, 2023. I am a Hilton Honors Diamond member, and as such I enjoy trying different properties across the portfolio when I visit different cities. In Providence, I had not yet stayed at this Homewood Suites, so I decided to give it a try. It was a stopover on the way by train to Boston, so I found it extremely convenient, a few blocks away from the station. I was surprised that this hotel did not offer a Digital Key, because it would have allowed me to bypass the odd arrangement of the entrance on the street level and the front desk on the second level. So I had to stop at the desk to claim my plastic old school card key. The desk staff was professional and described the hotel and features, as well as mentioning breakfast down on the street level. My Diamond status was recognized. My room was the one I had chosen during the online advance check-in the day before arrival. As it was a suite, it was certainly spacious. But.... the HVAC was hard to control, if at all. The outdoor temperature went down to the low 40's, and so I would have liked to have my room warmer than it was. Turning the thermostat higher just displayed the higher temperature but did not make the temperature higher. Unfortunately this was realized when I was ready to go to bed, so I wasn't going to contact anyone to rectify it that late. I found the bathroom to also be spacious, with enough room to put my toiletries on the counter. Because of the room temperature I opted not to take a shower that morning, so I cannot vouch for whether there was any issue with hot water. Breakfast.... I did not expect much. It was buffet style but limited selection. I did have scrambled eggs. I was bothered in the morning before my planned departure from the room and well before check-out time by Housekeeping knocking on my door. I thought that they only come in between guests. I had to yell that I would be out within half an hour. All in all, a great location but the lesson learned is to check the temperature control earlier in your stay if possible.

酒店是有年頭的老酒店，交通位置很好，離旁邊的mall,葯店都很近。酒店裡面有通道去商場，很方便。還有離RISD學校走路15分鐘左右。總的來説是不錯的。服務人員也很nice，衹要你要求，他們都會幫你解決。

For the cost per night of this hotel ($450 per night for the 1 King Bed room) I was expecting something nicer and roomier. The room had no closet/dresser to store clothes nor did it have a full length mirror or a safe, which feel like standard things to expect in a room, especially one being marketed as “more boutique/upscale” for this area. The shower situation in the bathroom is quite annoying. It is a narrow, stall style shower, but instead of having a glass door, there is a thin bath curtain that sticks to your body the entire time. Also, since there is no tight seal, water gets absolutely everywhere. The front desk/check-in receptionist was not from the area and was not able to provide any bar/restaurant recommendations when asked. It would make more sense to place people familiar with the area in customer facing roles. Lastly, we checked into our room Saturday afternoon and when we left the next day (late morning) the trash was in the same spot, unattended to. Both discarded items in front of various rooms and large contractor style trash bags that clearly came from Housekeeping/Janitorial staff etc. The smell and visual left little to be desired. Next time I am in Providence I would choose to stay elsewhere.

出乎預料，環境不錯，停車方便，是個是比較新，室內細節處理得不錯👍

Ini adalah hotel yang bagus dan selesa. Ia terletak berhampiran dengan lebuh raya, dengan itu memudahkan untuk pergi. Terdapat restoran Ruby Tuesdays betul-betul bersebelahan dengan Dunkin Donuts juga dalam jarak berjalan kaki. Secara keseluruhan, hotel ini bersih. Bilik luas dan katil serta bantal selesa. Bilik air juga luas dan bersih.

Overall: A safe, clean, quiet option when looking for a place to stay in the Newport area - significantly less expensive than staying downtown, even when factoring in Uber / Lyft rides (over the 2 days/2 nights we were there, we spent about $100 between 8 rides to / from the hotel to either the beach or downtown Newport). PROS: 1. Rooms are clean and fairly spacious, hotel feels safe, free breakfast and downtown Newport is just a short ride away! A good spot for a weekend getaway to Newport. 2. Front desk staff was great, they let us check in early (even after a sold out night) and both times we asked for extra towels, they were brought up almost immediately. 3. I also appreciated how a Starbucks, Shaw’s and Walgreens are all within a 10 minute walk of the hotel (even though the walk to get there isn’t the most pedestrian friendly). 4. I didn’t have the chance to use the indoor pool, but I appreciated the option, as I don’t believe all Hampton Inn’s have pools. Recommendations for Improvement: 1. Shuttle - either making the shuttle free or at a much reduced cost. I read in reviews that the shuttle was $3 one way and was disappointed to find that the price has increased to $7 one way per person. For the average couple, let alone the average family, it’s cheaper - or at the very least the same cost (depending on the time of day) - to just Uber / Lyft downtown. 2. Not sure why the website lists an onsite restaurant? There isn’t one, other than the lobby hosting the complimentary breakfast, which is only open at breakfast. I’d recommend adjusting this on the website as it’s a bit misleading. As a Hilton credit card holder, I was hoping to use my quarterly Hilton credit for a drink and/or meal here, and was disappointed to learn this wasn’t a possibility. 3. Fix the Keycard issue - our keycards weren’t working our second night and we had to go down to fix them. Then, that following morning before checkout we had the same problem with the new key cards as well, not sure the issue there.

We put my parents up here for a night as they live several hours away so they wouldn’t have to drive round trip same day. They loved it! They said the room was immaculate and the breakfast was one of the best they’ve had. They had everything they needed. I set it up so they wouldn’t need us to check in (we live not far from the hotel) and I will say customer service was excellent. My experience was extremely positive and we actually booked a room upcoming for my nephew as he is going to visit us soon. This was a great deal !!

This is a wonderful hotel to stay at! We did our wedding block here at this hotel and everything was top notch. The customer service and Sue Gallogly were excellent, they treat their hotel guests right. Also, the location is great too. I highly recommend the hotel for a night stay or to use as a wedding block!

總體：這家萬麗是當地四星標準，不像國內如北京王府井萬麗那樣是高檔型，所以各項水準相當或略高於中國四星級（如假日，温德姆） 環境：房間比較乾淨，大部分用品質量都不錯，衞生間很大 位置：毗鄰車站和商場，房間可以俯瞰整個downtown 餐廳：餐廳幾個小菜不錯，推薦炸魷魚calamari，服務熱情性價比高，也可以送餐到房間 注意，這家酒店不能用applepay付按金，別忘了帶實體信用卡

It met my expectations but I realized that I overpaid for the room because I booked too early:(

Sangat bersih ~ Perkhidmatan kaunter penerimaan tetamu yang bagus ~ Lokasi yang bagus, betul-betul berhampiran lebuh raya ~ berjalan kaki melalui tempat letak kereta ke tempat sarapan yang bagus.

Very beautiful hotel. Services met. Comfortable sheets and robes.

How does Holiday Inn allow this hotel to use their name?? We pulled in around 9pm and the lot was empty. That should’ve been a sign. Lobby was dirty. Spilled nastiness and visible dirt on the floor. Sign #2. Got up to the room and my 12 year old son - who is gross in his own 12 year old way - refused to use the shower. Sign #3. Upon my inspection, shower had a pile of sand in it, mildew all over the walls, and absolute gross nasty black stuff on the floor and in the corners. Oh, and pubic hair. I cleaned it as best I could with a wash rag. Then I lifted the toilet lid and am fairly certain there was a turd skid mark. Sign #4. Knowing I couldn’t pack up the family and change hotels due to availability at other hotels, I went down to the desk to ask for Lysol and extra washrags. Guy offered me the option of changing rooms. First room he offered seemed cleaner than the original, but was hot as the AC had been turned off. Second room he offered was as gross as the first. Mildew, pubes…. Fairly certain they don’t clean this hotel at all. I am just hoping we escape it without catching monkey pox or Covid or god knows what else. Unless you have incredibly low standards, don’t stay here. Nasty!

The rooms were clean and spacious. No issues with the sheets, towels, or beds. It was a little on the dim side in there. Definitely could use a little more lighting. Staff was friendly and helpful. When we arrived, the local ISP was laying cables in the area and therefore all systems were down. Internet and TV weren't working at all. The staff did their best with the situation and got us checked in as quickly as they could. Still, it would have been nice to have the price adjusted given that certain amenities were unavailable. Not the staff's fault though. The breakfast was OK, but the breakfast area could be organized a bit better. It became crowded very quickly and there was no flow, so everyone just kind of dodged and climbed over each other to get at it. We ended up going out for breakfast. It's located away from main traffic in the area in a side road that's pretty quiet, so that's good. I'd stay here again the next time I visit Providence.

Close to the Providence airport. A 12 minute drive away from Providence downtown and Brown University

Very beautiful hotel. Services met. Comfortable sheets and robes.

I have been a Marriott Titanium member for 9 years. I believe that hospitality is the most important facet of hospitality for guests who stay at hotels away from their own homes: regardless of whether the guest is loyal or not. Unfortunately, I have found most hotel staff I have encountered to be inhospitable, and some of whom are tricky to work with. Thus, I recently decided to start writing short diaries/reviews for every hotel I visit (though it consumes my time) to hopefully provide some useful information for you and the hotel managers. My hope is that hotels continuously improve to try and become hospitable places with the purpose of serving their guests. In the end, my final evaluation (the number of stars) is heavily based on the quality of my interactions with staff as a loyal member. I stayed at the Providence Marriott Downtown for 3 nights (checked in on Sep 6 and checked out on Sep 9). I checked in around 7:00pm on September 6. Below are my views on good (+) and not-good (-) about this hotel. Good things: + The hotel is a few minutes walk to Brown University and downtown. + I communicated with my personal ambassador (Gabby) ahead of the stay and they managed to upgrade me to a hospitality suite, which is quite spacious. + Though the gym is quite small, it has essential equipment and is next to both the indoor and outdoor pools. The pools are quite nice. Not-good things: - The person who checked me in (I should have asked for the name: you can backtrack on who was at the front desk around 7:00 pm on 09/06) seemed to be nice but they lacked an important skill: telling me about the hotel. The person just gave me the key and that was it. A front desk should at least tell the guest where the gym is, where the club lounge is, where the elevator is, etc. I had to ask the person all these information! The person didn’t offer me any water either (I only saw this when I checked out when another front desk person provided another guest.): I am not sure what was going on as I am an ambassador and I do not think that they provide water to higher elite (there is NONE). It appeared to me that the person didn’t care, they just didn’t want to provide me anything! - The suite 559 that they gave me was very old: table, sofa, etc have a lot of stains. The windows, looking over a parking lot, are small and stained. The room really needs some renovation. When I checked in and opened a door of the cabinet under the TV, one of the hinges came off! I called the front desk about the door problem on Sep 6. I came back from work around 6pm on Sep 7, the door was still not fixed and I had to call them again. Only then somebody came up and fixed the door. Furthermore, the room was not cleaned when I was back at 6pm on Sep 7. - My personal ambassador (Gabby) told me that I could have breakfast at the restaurant as an ambassador, but the hotel did the opposite: they only allowed me to have breakfast in the M-Club lounge.

Thermostat on cool setting was set to 68 degrees as room was 73. Woke up at 1am and the temperature rose to 77. Turned air cooler and auto-fan kicked in blowing air in excess of 85 degrees- quickly made the temp rise. Shut off the unit. Used the guidance to text to contact staff. No response. Did not call as that would have awoken my child. Text again to get guidance on finding the ceiling fan switch... no response. Finally found a panel of switches in the bedroom obscured by an oversized lampshade. I have never seen such an arrangement. Text again at 7:30 in the morning. No response. Finally after 8 someone sent a message that they would send up engineering to look at the situation. Great thanks. How timely of you. Two days later and still no response or apology from management. For a 4-star hotel I expect anything better than what was provided.
