Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Providence Airport Warwick
The staff at the desk was so nice especially the blonde with glasses and short hair.. she was so friendly. Room smelled like dirty cheesy feet. Couldn’t find a blow dryer, and the bathroom door didn’t lock. It wasn’t worth the money imo but it was last minute booking. All n all it wasn’t bad.
