Great Graduate Experience.
This is my second stay at a Graduate hotel. Just as the first time, if was a wonderful experience. The history of the Biltmore building was unique and fun to see! The Poindexter Coffee Shop have great breakfast sandwiches.

Historic beauty in downtown Providence
The Graduate Providence is the former famous Biltmore Hotel. In 2019 new owners purchased and renovated the hotel. Fortunately, they kept the ornate and beautiful lobby, and added quirky, modern touches to the decor of the rooms. But staff and maintenance still need work. There was no soap at all in our room (like many hotels, dispensers are mounted on the shower wall, but the soap bottle was empty. It took 3 tries, over 6 hours, with a different front desk clerk each time, until we were able to get someone to deliver some little bars of soap. While getting into bed that night, I found out the carpet in front of the air conditioner was wet. The next morning we informed yet another front desk clerk about the wet carpet. Maintenance came up quickly, and worked on it while we were out. Considering the carpet was wet I expected an offer of a different room, but one wasn't offered. We wore our shoes and kept the AC on to dissipate the slightly mildew smell. The room itself (a junior suite) was a corner room and nice and spacious, Bathroom is tiny by modern standards, but the footprint is original to the old building design. Location is great in downtown Providence, and we felt safe walking around after dark. If you like staying in old historic hotels, this is the one. Management needs to focus a bit more though on ensuring a good guest experience.

We chose to stay here for the unique decor and location. The lobby and mezzanine areas are beautiful! Overall the hotel met expectations and the room was comfortable. However, the details of the room are falling apart - paint/wallpaper chipping, water damage on the bathroom ceiling making the room feel a little unclean and dated. The parking garage is not connected to the hotel, but is a very short walk away.

The hotel seemed a bit old and tired at first but then we realized it was intentionally projecting a vintage vibe. The facility must have been spectacular in it's day and it still exudes that "old world" charm. Interesting and retro with unique and beautiful decor in every direction you look. The rooms are small due to the age of the hotel and the bathrooms are tiny but the place was very clean and quiet and the beds and bedding were comfortable. Although the place was retro with old-style furniture, it was all very tastefully appointed and the furniture was actually new and in great condition. No drawers in any cabinets was unusual. Vault in closet. Parking behind the facility in a parking garage for $34.00/night- a two minute walk- safe and easy to get to. Nice little coffee shop with the best cappuccino ever. Very walkable area A very pleasant stay. Only criticism was that our door security lock was broken and the "engineer" arrived after a long wait and was totally stoned and stunk of weed. Very nice guy though.

Shabby. Not well taken care off. Old. Poor amenities. Poor tasting instant coffee. Outlet for tea kettle didn’t work. Staff professional but impersonal. The hotel clearly well past its prime. Absolutely the most run-down Graduate I have stayed in.
