Top hotels in South Providence

Omni Providence Hotel
Having to pay for WiFi in this day and age is a bit of a Netscape /pets.com era policy and Omni could be a little more better about that. And the 187 times I signed up for the “free for members” WiFi was useless since it never worked

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Providence Airport Warwick
Comfy beds, later than normal check out which is great, however they slap you with a parking fee they don’t tell you about. Prices of the snack and waters are outrageous. Older ac units in room pretty noisy.

Colonial Inn Seekonk
Very clean, staff were fun to talk to. This is a modest motel style stay. Parking right at door and it was 15 min to downtown Providence.
