My daughter and I made an extended tour -- over several weeks -- to colleges on the East Coast. We stayed at The Old Court B & B in Providence and moved to the Christopher Dodge House for the second night because we were so disappointed with the service, the accommodations, and the lack-luster attitude of the managers of the...

If your goal is to be close to Brown, you could not do better than this historic house turned into a bed and breakfast, just a few blocks from campus. Rooms are furnished with antiques but have modern bathrooms and free wifi. The innkeepers couldn't have been more hospitable and helpful. I would also note that while you may pay... More

This is a lovely B&B in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to Brown, RISD, the RISD museum and interesting shopping and dining; slightly farther to the downtown business district but still walkable if you're fit (the return would be uphill). Full breakfast including fresh fruit, eggs any way, homemade baked goods and cereals/yogurt, sometimes pancakes/French toast/frittata. Our room was large,... More

My husband and I love Providence so we booked the Stove Room at the Old Court B&B. Everything was great. The room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. The decor of the room was reminiscent of the era of the home and very nicely done. The staff were very professional, courteous and friendly. The breakfast was fabulous. They... More

My mother and I stayed her for a Ladies only weekend getaway. The room was cozy and old fashioned. The beds were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and in a beautiful dining area. The staff was happy to help us choose a restaurant for dinner and museums to take in. Free off street parking was also a bonus.

I stayed here with my mother and brother during parents weekend. This place is located in an old historic new england building so the facilities werent the most amazing and it had super creaky stairs. The rooms were furnished with charming antique furniture and seemed to each have a theme/ name. I think we stayed in the nightingale room. Breakfast... More

Not one of the best places we stayed on our road trip of New England but OK all the same and would recommend it for a one night stay but not much more. It's an elegant looking building on a historic and quaint road, which is in a great location near the centre of Providence, best to describe it as... More

We recently spent four nights at the Old Court Bed and Breakfast. It is in a perfect location near Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design, as well as close to downtown. There was a nice, adequate breakfast each morning--excellent french toast, eggs and bacon. It was easy to get work done if needed through their wireless connection.... More

We were doing a College visit at Brown. Old Court is close by and at the foot of the Hill in front of RISD and Brown. The B&B has parking for its guests, that is behind it and can be quite tight if the B&B is full. For us it worked. Benefit street is historic for the Colonial homes and... More
