"Walkable distance to good restaurant options."

Hotel Providence

10/10 Excellent

"I would definitely stay here again. It is in the heart of downtown and a very nice hotel. The room was perfect for us. It is across the street from a church that provides food for the unhoused population, but they didn't bother us. I felt comfortable walking around at night and during the day."
