Hotels Near Sam's Tobacco & Convenience Store in Providence

A very well appointed hotel conveniently located in the historic downtown adjacent to RISD and an easy, if uphill walk, to Brown, with a number of decent restaurants nearby. The furnishings, bathroom, and linens were all of high quality. Despite other reviews I found the staff to be rather limited in their engagement versus the friendliness praised elsewhere, but nothing off-putting. The restaurant Bellini tries to punch a bit above its weight though for Providence it’s decent. Overall by far the best hotel in Providence but still a stretch from true five star luxury or a genuine upscale business hotel like Four Seasons or Mandarin Oriental.

The beautiful environment of the hotel is a classic in the century-old architecture. In the literary city center, the interior has modern facilities and the service is very warm. The lobby also provides guests with delicious drinks and desserts. The public areas are quiet and elegant, and the surrounding environment has a cultural heritage. The famous mural wall is in the surrounding area, which is a good choice for home travel.

We stayed here for one night to attend my brother’s graduation ceremony at RISD. The hotel is conveniently located and very clean as its a new facility in the town. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend people to stay.

We belong to the nearest hotel booked wherever we go. We are a family of four traveling on this trip. The hotel at this price is good value for money, clean and tidy and comfortable, good breakfast, and very fresh juice

There was hair on the bed, there was a mineral water bottle lost by the previous guest in the trash can, the restaurant did not have dinner, nor did it provide take-out menus from surrounding restaurants, so Starbucks in the lobby settled the dinner

I had the most dissatisfying stay recently at the Hampton Inn in Smithfield RI. This was a one night local getaway for me to have a little alone time, to get some work done, and to relax. I have often stayed at Hiltons but not at the particular location. Right off the bat I found the desk person to be grumpy, short with me, and unfriendly, Not to mention that when I arrived I had to wait for him at the desk as he was outside, Once settled in my room the wifi was inaccessible. I tried several times and there just wasn't a strong enough signal for my computer to hook in. Not only was this disappointing but it didn't allow me to get the work done that I had planned on doing. The room above me sounded like a bowling alley all night long so sleep wasn't possible. In the morning the tv no longer worked, Seemed to possible be a bug with the clocks falling behind or something. Then, when leaving, there wasn't even anyone at the desk to speak with - just a box to put in your plastic room key for disinfecting. All in all it was a very disappointing stay and I won't be returning,

HORRIBLE!!! Avoid this hotel at all costs. After a long day of travel with our 9 year old son we arrived at the hotel at around 11:30 pm. Our flight landed just after 11pm. We had a confirmed reservation for one night and were exhausted from a long day of travel and were eager to get a good night rest. When we arrived we noticed someone’s workout clothes on the floor outside the door of the gym in the middle of our path. We circumvented the dirty clothes in the floor and we arrived at the front desk and told the gentleman we had a reservation. He told us that there were no rooms available despite having a reservation. He told me it was my fault for not checking in earlier and that my reserved room had been given to someone else. He went on to tell me I would need to call and request a refund and then blamed me for booking through a third party when in fact I booked with HILTON DIRECTLY. Never in my life have I heard of this and when I proceeded to inquire he then changed his story and said he didn’t have any clean rooms available. I asked if I could speak with a manager who emerged from a back room. He rudely sat at the computer and told me that he in fact had a room after all. After arriving in our room exhausted and exasperated we found a filthy room with a disheveled bed, crumbs on the floor and a smell that was like a stomach churning combination of beef jerky, maple syrup and vomit. My 9 year old son asked if we could sleep in the car instead and my husband and I considered it. I will NEVER stay at another Hilton property. What a nightmare.

I had an unexpected 5-night stay at this hotel when my daughter tested positive for COVID while attending a residential summer camp nearby. She had to come home for 5 days, but after that point, once she tested negative, she was permitted to return as a day camper for the remainder of the session. My daughter and I stayed at this hotel during that final week of camp; I drove her to the camp every morning and picked her up every night. Luckily, this hotel had a large suite with a kitchenette available during our stay. After returning to the hotel in the morning, I was able to plug in my laptop and work during the day, pausing to make myself a nice lunch, even grab a workout in the gym. I could not have asked for a more convenient hotel in terms of access and amenities. A word about the location: We took the Amtrak train to Providence station, then took an Uber to the hotel (around $16, as I recall). The hotel is located immediately next to the car rental garage for T.F. Green Providence Airport. So we checked in, put our bags in our room, and then I walked across the parking lot to pick up our rental car. It could not have been more convenient! I then drove to the nearby Trader Joe's to buy some groceries for the week. There aren't really any restaurants or shops within walking distance of the hotel, so it was very convenient to have the breakfast buffet that was included with our stay, and then be able to heat up a frozen meal or make a salad for lunch. The hotel is spotless and seems very new. All of the staff we interacted with were lovely. The general manager, Milton, went out of his way to help us and to make our stay as pleasant as possible. In particular, I want to give special thanks for how accommodating Milton was after I had gotten confused about having to change rooms during our stay. He had previously told me that the suite would only be available until Thursday, and that we would have to switch to a regular room for our final night. However, when we checked in, the front desk person told us we would be in the suite the entire time. I should have clarified this with Milton, but given the stressful and chaotic circumstances of the week, it slipped to the bottom of my list. Ultimately, Milton was able to move things around so that we were able to stay in the suite. I felt horribly guilty about this, but he was gracious and extremely understanding. I will always remember how kindly he treated me (and other guests too). I am a Hyatt Globalist and have stayed at dozens and dozens of different Hyatt properties over the years, including very upscale Park Hyatts and Andaz properties around the world. This cheerful, spotless, and comfortable airport hotel will always stand out in my memory because it was exactly what I needed, delivered with the highest level of service. Many thanks to the entire team at this hotel!

The daughter said the room was fine! She arrived in the middle of the night. After calling, the hotel sent Suttle to pick her up. The service was very good. In a few days, I will stay again, and then I will send a photo video again. Unfortunately, the plane is more than five o'clock in the morning, and the breakfast is not felt.

Extremely clean ~ Great front desk service ~ Great location, right near highway ~ a walk through the parking lot to a great breakfast spot.
