Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

The wife and I were looking for an overnight getaway, chose Providence, and took a gamble on the Christopher Dodge House B & B. When we arrived, we were a little nervous about the neighborhood but all it took to alleviate our concerns was to enter the building (we also discovered the neighborhood while not matching the splendor of the Dodge House was quite safe). This is absolutely a beautiful place worth seeing, and they add a lot of little nice touches from cookies waiting in your room to snacks/drinks available for a dollar on the honor system. It was a major plus to find that a walk of less than a half mile brought us to downtown and any number of places to check out. The only negatives were that our TV did not work and despite being told the office was open until 930 PM, nobody was around to complain to; also that the bathroom faucet wanted to leak unless clamped shut by the grip of Hercules. Weighing all together, we were more than pleased with our experience and would not hesitate to go back if ever in the area again. …

Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Scotsman! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay despite a small hiccup with the tv (which were able to fix the next morning) and faucet. We have spoken to our staff about not being available when they should have been and addressed the faucet with our maintenance department. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Within walking distance to everything, this place will not disappoint. The staff is extraordinarily caring…they work together as if they are best buddies. The common room was lovely to have a space to sit and read. The breakfast was a huge surprise with hot and cold items, prepared individually.

Clean, comfortable surroundings in an 1800-era house. The staff were very helpful and we enjoyed meeting fellow B&B-ers! Parking on site. And an easy walk or drive to downtown Providence. Park at the Providence Place mall if you drive into downtown. Can't beat the extremely low $2/5hr price!

The hotel is conveniently situated for interstate 95 and the Amtrak station, and about 15-20 minutes walk from central Providence. College Hill and the Italian restaurant area are slightly further away. The welcome at the guest house is very good, and helpful information is provided. We had a lovely room on the ground floor with plenty of space, and were served a good breakfast in the morning. It is true that the property is very close to the interstate, and you can hear it very clearly in outside areas; however the sound insulation in the room is excellent and we were not disturbed by it in any way. The interstate is at a lower level than the parking area, and behind a high fence, so not visible from our room.

Christopher Dodge Guest House is a great location, within walking distance to downtown Providence with plenty of free parking. Our room was spacious, clean and had all the amenities we needed for our short stay. The staff were friendly and the home cooked breakfast set us up for the day. I would definitely recommend this guest house for a stay in Providence.

There was no elevator and we had to three long flights of stairs to get to our room. Other than that the place was peaceful and quiet. My complaints about no elevator because at 76 I didn't go there to workout I went to rest. The breakfast was decent and the location was walking distance from the mall.

Thank you for posting a review of your stay. Both our website and confirmation email state that due to the historic nature of the house, we do not have an elevator. Our staff is also trained to mention this upon booking phone reservations. We are sorry that our bed and breakfast wasn't a good fit for you.
