The Providence hotels do well to provide visitors with an ample amount of lodging choices, though there's not a lot in the way of discount accommodations if that's what you're after. Most of the Providence hotels are fairly upscale, especially in the downtown area. If you are looking for cheap Providence lodging, you'll do well to search the exits off of Interstates 95 and 195, where motels like the Ramada Inn are more prominent. When staying at one of the Providence motels, you will likely be staying on the Massachusetts side of the Providence Metropolitan Area. This shouldn't pose a problem, as you'll still be within easy reach of all the top Providence attractions. In addition to the more standard Providence motels and hotels, visitors can also look to stay at one of the local bed and breakfast inns. Some of the best accommodations in Providence are featured below, so you might depend on them if you haven't already found a place to stay.

Rhode Island isn't exactly overflowing with luxury hotels, but you can find them if you are looking for them. Should you be visiting Providence and want rooms that are much more substantial than those that you'll find at the Providence motels, the Renaissance Providence is worth considering. You'll find the Renaissance Providence right in the heart of the city's Capitol District, so you'll be close to a bunch of attractions, such as the State House. While plenty of great restaurants will be within walking distance, you'll also want to consider enjoying a meal at the Renaissance's onsite American bistro.
