This was my second visit. Chip is an eclectic American renaissance man with a setting to match. Hardly anyone is more down to earth hospitable. His interests and insights are varied adding to great conversation. The room was warm and comfortable, and breakfast was really beyond- I would say world class. Every piece in the place has a story. And Chip's cats are so friendly- they just want to snuggle on your lap; and I'm normally a dog guy. So next time in Providence............you know where I'll be. And this writeup is from someone who has visited 60plus countries and a zillion places.
