Top College Hill Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Warwick-Providence (Arpt) by IHG

8/10 Good

"There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed...our tv kept acting up, our toilet nearly overflowed, two drawers would not stay closed, and the ice machine on our floor was out of order all three days. Friendly staff, good breakfast, but a little disappointed since I had stayed here before and chose it because of my good experience back in June."

Best Western Providence Warwick Airport Inn

8/10 Good

"Hello… another stay at BW… it was a pleasant stay. Friendly checkin staff. Breakfast staff was not so pleasant she was not helpful and for starting the day the supplies weren’t fully stocked and when I asked her for a hard boiled egg she said they are full I took the empty container and she was well… Everyone else is kind and caring, guess if you work the morning you need to be awake and pleasant.. where was get customer service? Parking lot is always well lite and plenty of parking. I will be back again"

Sonesta Select Boston Foxborough Mansfield

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is very nice. The lobby has ample seating with a tv, bar, and fireplace where people gathered for breakfast and in the evening. The courtyard is also well maintained. The breakfast had both hot and cold options, however, the hot options ran out quickly and were slow to be replaced. The amenities in the room were very limited (coffee only), no cups or glassware, no tea. The phone in our room did not work and the wifi frequently lost connection. The hotel “shop” had plenty of overpriced snacks but nothing for toiletries or over the counter medicine that we had forgotten, so be sure to bring your own, and if you forget something you will need to stop off at a store. I would stay again, but I would plan to bring everything I need with me."

enVision Hotel & Conference Center Mansfield-Foxboro

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is tucked away and is isolated from noise. Felt safe parking my vehicle there all day and night. Everything was clean. The employees all were polite and friendly. Had dinner at the bar. Bartender was great. Food was great. Had breakfast the next morning. Everything was fresh, area kept spotless. Will definitely return next time I travel to the area."
