Christopher Dodge House

Beds, staff, breakfast, location and historic building.

The breakfast was wonderful, with several available options, including fruit, cereals, pastries, and hot breakfast dishes. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the whole historic aesthetic of the building itself was a true pleasure. We really felt wrapped in the history of the place.

I have only two points of potential concern, but both of them have already been addressed to the greatest extent possible. First is parking. Spaces are necessarily limited, and if you plan to stay out late, you should be prepared to find no spaces available when you return. Return. However, the proprietors have arranged for overflow parking spaces about a block away, so this is a very minor concern. The second is the stairs. The proprietors are very clear from the beginning that as a historical house, there is no elevator. What may not be clear is that the stairs can be a little steep and narrow, making it difficult for people with bad knees or back problems to navigate easily. Again, this is not something that is within the ability of the staff to really change. It is just something that potential guests should make sure they understand.

Charming old property. We stayed in Room 1 which was very spacious and comfortable. We really appreciated the common room with tea and coffee making facilities, and the lovely breakfasts. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Somewhat dated bathroom, with noisy extractor fan. Location next to massive Interstate road meant a lot more walking to get around it, and the property felt rather cut off from central Providence. We couldn’t hear the traffic noise from our room, though.

Lovely breakfast, lovely room, kind inn keepers

For me- I like cotton sheets and these were I think bamboo? But that was very very minimal and the experience was wonderful!!

Beautiful bed and breakfast. A wonderful change from hotel living. Careful, narrow stairs and no elevator, but if you are good with that, an excellent choice within walking distance to Brown.

We had a lovely stay at Christopher Dodge House—clean room, comfy bed, quiet AC, many nice amenities, delicious breakfast and friendly, professional staff. We’ll be back!
