Omni Providence Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a wonderful stay! Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Staff was crazy solicitous - finding a laptop I accidentally left at the front desk and running to me to return. Valet guys great, helping me find my purse. But biggest plus - is the ridicously comfortable bed and pillows that made it so relaxing."
