What Guests Are Saying

“I had a wonderful stay at the Omni Providence Hotel and would happily return. The hotel has a classic, elegant feel, with a beautiful lobby and a great atmosphere that makes a strong first impression as soon as you walk in. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay, and it was also quiet despite the central location.” — Bruno R., 5 stars

“Skip this hotel! They don’t care about providing the appropriate level of service (including my simple request for a toothbrush!) for an Omni hotel. Save your money and book a room elsewhere!” — Jaska, 2 stars

“I had one of the worst hotel experiences of my life at the Omni Providence, which was particularly disappointing given that this is supposed to be one of the best hotels in the city. The problems started immediately with the valet service. On one occasion, I was running late and the valet was nowhere to be found. After waiting, I had to ask the front desk receptionist to call him so I could retrieve my vehicle. The restaurant was equally disappointing. The food quality was poor and far below what I would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The condition of the room was unacceptable. Housekeeping standards were extremely poor, and the room felt worn, neglected, and frankly more like a dump than a premium hotel accommodation. The most frustrating experience occurred on my second day. Before leaving, I called guest services and specifically requested that housekeeping clean my room. I also stopped by the front desk on my way out and personally reminded the receptionist. After returning from a long day, I was shocked to find that my room had not been serviced at all. I then had to wait in the hallway while housekeeping finally cleaned the room. To make matters worse, I requested that hotel management and the General Manager contact me regarding these issues. I was told my concerns would be escalated. Since it was Memorial Day weekend, I assumed I would hear from someone shortly afterward. However, despite my request for a call or email as soon as possible, no one ever followed up. Poor service, poor housekeeping, poor food, and a complete lack of management accountability. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel.” — PainDoctor, 1 star
