Providence is defined as divine guidance or care. Whether your divine guidance comes from nature, God or another source I feel like it was destiny bringing me here. This was my very first trip to Rhode Island. My goal is to visit all 50 states by the time I turn 50. (Follow me on IG - wellcoacht).
The accommodations were excellent for me as a solo traveler. When I return, I will try to book the entire 3rd floor apartment for my family. ( Please have strong ankles and knees to get up and down the stairs as they are narrow).
When I arrived, the self check-in process was very smooth. There was a basket of goodies on my bed next to the clean, fresh towels. My room (Ivy) was next to the bathroom. Everything was very clean and comfortable- even the common areas (kitchen, dining, living rooms). The bed and pillows in my room were soooooo comfortable that I was tempted to stay in bed all day on a few occasions.
Tips: the location is very convenient to local restaurants, shopping plaza and grocery store (Priceline). It will help save money to buy food and prepare in the kitchen provided. I was able to get food and 25 cent water bottles for 3 days for less than $17 total. There is also a great soup and sandwich spot downtown called UMelt. Worth trying.
I took public transportation to get around and it was safe, convenient and easy to follow. I am a workout enthusiast and I walked around the area and there were no concerns/ issues regarding safety. I wanted to try the Rhode Island Hot Yoga spot around the corner, however I missed the classes.
The trip was a very rewarding experience. Even the guest in the room next to mine was very kind. We talked briefly and she invited me to visit her hometown whenever I am in her area.
Everything was very worthwhile, spacious and a great city to explore. I look forward to returning again .
