Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Providence Airport Warwick
We have stayed here a few times. Very convenient when you have an early morning flight out of Pvd airport. Clean and comfortable and quiet. You can walk right over to the terminal or they have shuttles around the clock every 15 minutes. You can also leave your car in their lot for a daily fee.
