I'm a Hilton Gold member, and a senior 61 year old professional. This is one of the worst Hilton's I have ever stayed at. Noisy from 2 perspectives - making it very difficult to sleep: (1) highway noise - and I was on the top 14th floor; (2) noise from the HVAC system whenever the heat would turn on and off - which was constantly (and made ...

A mouse in the room.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/14/08
I had to be on a business trip to Rhode Island for 3 weeks and therefore chose the Hilton Providence Downtown for its great location. During my first week of stay, I spotted a mouse in the room. That sent me jumping on top of the bed screaming hysterically. I sweared i was almost scared to death. I happened to be on the phone with my co-worker ...
I got an excellent rate via Hilton's Net-Direct booking. The hotel is newly renovated, and somewhat reminds me of the Millenium Hilton in NYC (as far as decor, rooms, etc). Service was wonderful, very friendly and helpful staff. I had a meeting at Brown University and the hotel shuttle took me to and from. Dinner at Shula's (in the hotel) ...
I visted the hilton in providence, rhode island this july 2007- The hotel is just a few steps away from the convention center, about 5 mins from the providence place mall, and fairly close to all the restaurants. The hotel itself was very clean, there were no renovations going on, The service was Great! The rooms were large and very comfortable! ...

A pleasant experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/02/07
The hotel was in a good location for me traveling on business. It was also a great location for shopping and dining...nothing was more than 3-4 blocks away.
The renovations are wondeful. This is a very modern hotel. The carpets are new; the furniture in the rooms is also new. They have a great pool and workout facility AND dining at ...

TOO HOT!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/07
I stayed at the hotel in March. The room was SO hot and humid I had to sleep without covers almost in my underwear. The marble in the hallway next to the elevator was the coolest area. Supposedly the air conditioner could not be turned on due to some sort of "automatic" heating/cooling system. The system was just circulating hot air. The ...

Can't take the heat
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/07
I stayed at the Providence Hilton in late March for a regional conference, and was not at all impressed by this hotel. The service was mediocre at best. The main complaint among guests (myself included) seemed to be that the rooms were too warm, but the staff maintained that the air conditioning cannot be turned on in the off-season due to a ...

Very noisy, pool closed.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/28/06
Not exceptional accommodations for the price. Unhelpful staff at the check-in desk; seemed preoccupied with personal calls or other business.
The hotel is or was under construction (I was there in April), and we're talking LOUD JACKHAMMERS! Good luck if you want or need to sleep past 8:00 am. Pool closed. Main entrance closed, have to enter ...

The exterior is undergoing a major renovation and the interior is supposed to be undergoing one soon as well. However, it is the interior that is in dire need of improvements. The sink was chipped, there were bugs in the bathroom, the TV remote didn't work, and the room smelled terrible. The hotel is extremely expensive for the poor quality, ...
This experience was the worst I have had in a very long time, I booked a king bed reserved with CC and when I arrived at 01:30 am they only had double beds, I was awakened at 8:05 am to a hammer drill on the floor above me, there was no High Speed Internet as they advertise, it was down for whatever reason and was not to be expected up, in what ...
