Disliked: Amenities
I was here for a Saturday night, and there was lots of loud activity outside, including racing cars, until about 1:00.After that it was quiet. Location is very convenient for exploring Brown’s campus, and there are many restaurants nearby. It’s challenging to find the place, since address numbers are scarce. I really appreciated being able to check in early! Thanks! I never saw a person who worked here.

The stay wasn't bad, I booked a room for 2 nights and wasn't bother by anyone. The street around the hostile has a lot of food and some shopping options too. Its really close to the bus stop so you can ask to be taken to the mall as well. However, the ladies room didn't have handsoap the whole time I was there which was not great and I'd recommend bringing shower slippers.

There was some sort of issue with the property, and the company sent us to a different rental location. It was okay, but we were traveling on foot from the train station and had to adjust or route and walking time. The alternate house was clean and comfortable. I liked that the individual bedroom had its own locks.

The two sofas were very old and not taken care off (full of stains), we didn't even think about sitting on them. The bed was old and also damaged, the sheet and towels looked clean but since the rest of the room didn't it was very concerning. I hope you get ride of the old/stain furniture. There is cheap furniture in Ikea that you can use instead.

Messed up our reservation. Room wasn't cleaned, then sent us to an occupied room walking in on them. Finally moved us to a completely different area 15 minutes away. Not what we wanted from a place just to crash for the one night... Got very late.

CAUTION

Stayed here overnight and had room broken into and almost all items stolen while I slept. Police apprehended some perpetrators within days. They admitted to having the key code not only to the building to my room as well! How does that happen? Management was unable or unwilling to provide security camera footage despite a camera in the hallway right outside my room. To top it off i was denied a refund.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very uncomfortable situation. Arrived at facility to find front door open(not secured). When we got to our room, we found the door open and the previous occupant still in room. Room was unkept. Text facility since there is no reception available, was told to wait for individual to leave and they would clean the room. This was not acceptable. The facility put us in a very awkward position and did not feel safe. We left the facility, requested a refund which they only agreed to refund 1 of 5 days. FYI, we meet a few of the persons who placed good reviews on Expedia in the facility. Appear to be long term residents and or employees of place.

Inexpensive hostel stay for two nights ~$145. It’s located within short ~5min waking distance to some of the buildings of Brown university. It’s next to Ben and Jerry’s ice cream store on the upper level. The entrance is somewhat obscured and easily missed and there is no posted sign; you really had to follow the email instructions word by word, otherwise, you won’t be able to find it or get in. And I had seen it happened. It’s very very important to call (401) 863-2378 ) for check in instructions 1-2 days before arrival by providing your personal information and uploading your ID. It’s centrally located on a busy Main Street with lots of dinning options. It’s about ~20min Uber drive from the Rhode Island airport. For the price you pay, the quality of the place is acceptable with the bare minimum: clean bedrooms, shared restrooms, and kitchen; except that you need showering shampoos and bath soup. One bath towel is provided. There is even a sitting area with skylights. We visited at the end of August with superb weather so it would be interesting to see whether the AC unit functionality during hot or cold months. If you are sensitive to loud street noise, do not stay here as some of street facing rooms have poor sound proof and the hole on the window barrier did not help with the situation: loud crowds, car honking, blasting music last well past midnight on the weekends.
