The property is very cute and we enjoyed our stay. The area is great and there is plenty to walk to. The rooms do not have a coffee maker or refrigerator. There is ice available, but you have to call down to request it. There is a coffee counter in the lobby area to buy coffee, but it’s only open Thu-Sun, so we had no coffee available since we weren’t there those mornings. The bathroom is very small with little counter space, but it worked out okay for us. The shower is also very small and made it awkward to shower. The bed was fairly comfortable, but the couch is stiff. We enjoyed both bars (there is a ‘speakeasy’ and a karaoke bar called Boombox). We wish they were open more nights. Bartenders at both bars were terrific. Friendly and full of recommendations. The hotel staff was all wonderful, helpful, and kind.

It's an elective place, quirky, and why we selected it. I wish it had a few more amenities like readily available coffee and food bites. Other than that I enjoyed it and would recommend if you want to experience something other than the common hotel offerings

Very nice hotel room in a great location - plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes nearby - the hotel staff we encountered were very nice and welcoming. Unfortunately we couldn't find a water cooler and the hotel cafe hours were not clear. The hotel has a single very small old fashioned lift (only fits 2 adults + luggage) that at times made some questionable noises and it took us 3 tries to get from Level 3 of 4 when checking out (stairs not an option with our luggage). The Boom Box Kareoke bar was fun, but would have been very noisy on lower levels at that end of the hotel! The walls were pretty thin and we were woken up at early hours by some inconsiderate, noisy guests returning to their rooms - bring your earplugs! The hotel car park is convenient but costs USD 40 a night.

The staff was lovely, however we noticed the room was dusty, below the bed did not get cleaned, corners were full of dust. It was obvious because they had so much painted in dark grey and black where the white dust was noticable. Also, the toilet did not flush correctly so we felt like the room smelled like pee from time to time.

Quirky but so convenient. Walkable to all of downtown Providence and College Hill and surrounded by great restaurants and shopping. The staff is incredibly friendly - especially the morning barista. I would definitely stay there again.

Classic hotel, great service but bizarre tiny room

The Neptune (formerly Dean) Hotel is a classic old hotel in the heart of downtown Providence. The staff and service were great. Our room ws not only tiny, but there was more space available in the room to set up a chair (or couch) to watch someone in the shower through the window to the room than there was space to walk around the bed. Despite good service, this lack of space to move near the bed, due to a really strange room configuration of room 408 made our stay just OK.

A hit and a miss

We loved the design of the hotel & the location. But the staff, even though very nice individually, seemed disorganized—it was like no one ever talked or shared information with each other. The hotel was rebranding from The Dean Hotel to The Neptune, so possibly that is why? There are numerous examples from our stay, but I will just share the last two things that happened. The stay was prepaid, months before our visit. When we checked out, the person at the front desk said, you guys prepaid, everything’s good. I look at my credit card online later to find that The Dean/Neptune charged us again for the entire visit—except the new amount is less than what we prepaid. I spoke to the manager, and he reversed the 2nd charge right away, but had no real explanation about why we’d been double-billed. When we left, we left 2 postcards (stamped & addressed) for the hotel staff to mail. Instead of just mailing them, they put both postcards in an envelope, and mailed them to the 1st postcard recipient…2 months after our stay! I even don’t know what to think about that. Are there people who don’t know what postcards are?

Creepy and claustrophobic.

Perhaps I overestimated what my experience would be like, but the hotel was very dated, with narrow hallways and dirty, worn carpets. The “lifts” looked claustrophobic and unsafe, so I opted to use the stairs instead. The room was fine. Small but clean with a nice bathroom. I had trouble sleeping because it was VERY noisy, with weird flushing sounds, creaky floors, and other sounds I can’t quite describe. The hotel also didn’t offer any amenities, not even coffee during my stay. I left as soon as I woke up, and I definitely won’t be back.
