The staff was super friendly and it's very conveniently located in downtown Providence. Whilethe bedding and immediately used areas did seem clean, the was not. Dust caked in the windowsills, the hallways carpets hadn't been vacuumed in weeks and the white tassels were nearly black on the carpet in the rooms. The bathroom and general space was extremely lacking in function. I would have been furious had I paid actual asking price, and I wasn't all that happy with special Expedia pricing discount. It was just okay enough to stay the second night because we had a function, but checked out a day early. Wouldn't recommend.

Everything is great except the area around the hotel is loud out back and the rooms have very thin walls. I heard people up and down the street and didn’t sleep much. The hotel is pretty and staff is great. It’s more for style though and not for comfort.

When I visit Providence from NYC, I stay at The Dean exclusively, because it IS an exclusive boutique hotel!! My favorite thing to do on the morning is roll out of my luxurious King suite and come down to the lobby for locally made Knead doughnuts and Bolt Coffee! Having a cafe right in the lobby is quite the amenity. The cafe is open til noon everyday and offers a great workspace with plenty of reading material. The vintage ceramic tile floor offers unique charm of a bygone era. The concierge at the front desk is always friendly and accommodating - delivering an electric kettle to my room upon request. The Dean has become my home away from home! Always impeccable, well appointed and never to disappoint!! A treasured gem for sure!

This hotel is no better than a 2 star. I would not recommend this if you have other options. Cramped rooms, no desk, no place to unpack. The bathroom is claustrophobic and the shower is a drizzle. Cheap towels. I regretted this.

Loved the staff and bar. Wish there were more electrical outlets in the room and a mirror in the room by the desk with good lighting. But will be back.

The hotel has got great design and it’s located in the heart of the city but that’s pretty much it. Our room is located right above a karaoke club (still couldn’t fathom why you would have one in the hotel) so you could imagine how noisy it had been for the entire stay. Also the room had not been vacuumed for days where you can see dust everywhere, let alone the carpet in the “suite” area of the room. If you’re in your 20s and didn’t mind the partying and noise of the drunks and reckless junkies on the street, this is the place for you. Definitely not worth the money we paid; best yet Parking is NOT included

The speakeasy bar was great! My room was old, quaint. Felt like i was back in the 1920's! Easy walk to Waterfire (which was excellent).

The room was tiny and the service wasn’t great. The shower wasn’t great and the floor in the room was sticky. The view from both windows was poor and they were dirty. We expect a higher level of service and amenities when the hotel markets itself as a “boutique hotel.” Would not recommend.

The Dean hotel is a fun and magical place. From the outstanding front desk clerk James to our check out it was a wonderful experience. The clever speakeasy on property felt like you were going back decades. It was lovely and then there is the karaoke bar, oh my gosh, what fun! very nice little special touches from a handwritten welcome to a couple of boxes of Freewater. It was a wonderful stay
