My stay at The Dean was great !! Super cool boutique property with an old school elevator and cool art throughout. Loved that they had a coffee bar in the morning. Didn’t get to check them out but also liked that they had two bars connected to the property. Everything is very walkable from The Dean and parking right next door on property and also a garage directly next to the building.

This is an excellent little boutique hotel. Not a lot of amenities, but the rooms are clean, neat and stylish in a comfy and classic way. They do have a small lobby with a coffee bar that is convenient. Very walkable area close to restaurants and coffee shops. A good selection for the price.

Loved that it was in downtown. Room was spacious and a lot bigger than anticipated. Only complaint is they don’t answer their phones. You have to text them. Trust me I have checked different times thinking that it was done being broken in June but that’s not the case. Also the front desk gentleman seemed like he hated his job. Not very friendly and welcoming at all. Seemed more annoyed than anything even though I only had time to check in after arriving and pay for the room. Again great place. Service wasn’t.

The Dean is lovely! Clean, beautiful, friendly staff, lovely rooms. They are tiny (though the bathroom is a fantastic size) but for one person the accommodation are perfect. The elevator is tiny and old, but quick and adds to the charm.

Smelled like dirty mop water and the bathroom curtain stunk like it hadn’t been washed in a very long time. The shower is also very cramped. Bed is uncomfortable

unfortunately will not be coming back or recommend
I regret booking The Dean for our downtown Providence trip. The room did not reflect the photos on their website, there is no minibar (the front desk collects anything you need to be refrigerated or frozen - which is iffy because when I was waiting to retrieve my ice packs someone was picking up their leftovers and they said something in that bag wasn't theirs, use that service at your discretion), the central ac unit was broken (so our room had a window ac, which allowed extra noise from the outside in, but not only that smoke and the smell of marijuana from outside too). We requested cribs for our children and the cribs were mismatched, and soiled - I had to call for extra linens to line the cribs because housekeeping did not do that for the babies. On the subject of babies, if you're traveling with children or small babies, they have a very small lift with the metal sliding doors, so be careful with the little fingers and toes. The room we stayed in seemed like it could use some cleaning also, there were dust under the bed and the bedsheet was stained. To communicate with the downstairs staff you either have to leave your room and use a community phone or call/text a number (I tried the text and no one reponded to me, so I had to call). Overall, not the best experience staying at The Dean - unfortunately will not be coming back or recommending this place.

Little misleading when it says “welcomes all pets”. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate our cat. Their pereference is mainly dogs for anyone’s knowledge. Still, an unbelievable ambience to the place and a super fun stay

Great location and unique building/layout. We had a large room but it could have used a bit more furniture to make it functional. Staff was helpful but a little overwhelmed - could have just been due to a busy weekend.
