The staff are friendly and helpful. There's a kitchen and a guest living room in the hallway, with other rooms surrounding them. The bathroom is public but has privacy, which is okay. The room is quiet, and, most importantly, it is close to Brown and RISD if you are visiting either, since the hotel is on College Hill. The booking assistant, Stefano, responded very quickly each time I needed anything. Overall, it's quite nice and clean.

Very cosy spot. A bit like a private hostel. I found it strange that the toilet paper was on the outside of the stall though.

The room is spacious, but its location is terrible. It’s on Thayer Street, where crowds of young people party loudly, screaming and yelling late into the night. The noise lasted till early mornings, making it impossible to sleep.

Convenient location in that it was super close to Brown. It’s right downtown, but the entrance is difficult to find. It’s an old dorm so it’s worn out. No amenities.
