Best Western Providence Warwick Airport Inn
For an overnight stay after a late arrival, it was a great hotel. Room was well appointed and clean, staff was helpful, and breakfast was good. Also, I used the fitness center for about an hour, and found it well equipped, clean, and very useful. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
