La Quinta Inn & Suites Warwick Providence Airport

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE, save your money. Stayed one night and it was the worse hotel I’ve been too, staff was super unprofessional and the manager is extremely ignorant.
I didn’t even want to give them one star.
The hotel had a stale smell, there was no running hot water, (when asked about the water issue the staff/​manager seemed not to care) the walls are extremely thin you can hear everything, the room smelled like an old ashtray and was not properly cleaned.
They are extremely over priced for the run down place that it is, I will never go back not recommend this place to anyone

I have stayed at La Quinta Warwick several times over the past 3 years as my son attends college in Providence, and the hotels downtown are pretty overpriced. I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews. This is not a luxury hotel! It is a budget/​moderate hotel! Staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms that I’ve had are clean, nothing fancy at all, and the beds are comfortable. It serves the purpose. I am a non smoker and I honestly have never smelled smoke during any of my stays. The breakfast is self serve, and there is quite a selection. Make your own waffle, cereals, bagels, muffins, eggs, etc.
As stated before, if you are on a budget, this is a fine choice.

Don’t stay here I ordered a smoke free room there was cigarette burns on the bed and it smelled like cigarettes and when I took a shower there was know hot water at all DON’T STAY HERE

Nothing to write home about, but we felt safe & comfortable in our hotel room. It was clean which is always a plus. The walls were paper thin. My husband heard more than he would have liked. I slept through it! We wouldn’t stay in this area again but we would try La Quinta again.

The hallways smelled old and musty, and in some areas like dog pee. The ONE elevator was soooo slow even without a lot of people calling for it.

If I could give zero stars I would. DO NOT STAY HERE especially if you are sensitive to smoke. Supposedly some of the rooms are saved for smokers (What? at this day and age). We were given a non-​smoking room in the basement (it’s called the first floor, but it’s not), but the smell of stale cigarette smoke lingered into our basement room, not to mention being able to hear people talking right loudly outside our window because it’s facing the parking lot, not the mention the smell of someone smoking pot and cigarettes– lingering through the vent. After calling the front desk to see if we could move to another room, they said that they were all booked and couldn’t. When we asked about receiving a refund, they said that we would have to wait until Monday to find out. I have stayed at other La Quinta’s before and this is the first horrible experience that I’ve had. ABSOLUTE NEVER AGAIN!

Made a reservation to stay here because it was the most affordable hotel in the area. I was not expecting any fancy for being the cheapest, I was just thinking. how much time am I really going to spend in this room? I just needed somewhere to sleep. We got there and everyone was friendly, the location is good, but the hotel is just terrible.
The first room we were taken to (non smoking room) smelled so strongly of cigarette smoke that I requested a second room. We went to the second room, and it was small and cramped, but that was not the issue. My main issues were with the windows which were not able to be opened (which paired with the cramped room felt VERY claustrophobic), and this non smoking room ALSO reeked of cigarette smoke and just smelled gross in general.
I am not a super picky person when it comes to things like this. I have stayed in motel rooms which were even smaller than this, but I was just not comfortable staying here at all. We ended up spending the extra money and staying at the Sheraton up the street and feeling much more comfortable.
The girls at the counter were so friendly and understanding, and it is not their fault. this hotel seriously needs some updating.

Pool is out of service, they advertised pool and Spa? No Spa either.
Found out pool is out of service the day I got here.
Had an issue with the maintenance guy.
Management handled it, and discounted my room rates, plus issued me 2,000 points on my rewards.
Nice clean hotel. close to restaurants.

Pool was unlocked. We used our key to get in. Maintenance man comes out and says, very rudely, that we need to get out, the pool isn’t open. That’s fine, but he was so rude. Then when I addressed that there was no signage to know the pool was closed, he ROLLED HIS EYES AT ME and refused to say anything or even acknowledge there should be a sign or something. Forgive me for assuming that an OPEN, FULL POOL was for guest use.
I realize they need to put the chemicals and all in first, but… keep it closed. Keep a sign up that says it isn’t ready. And DO NOT roll your eyes and be a Jerk to a guest.

My non smoking room reeked of cigarettes. Stayed with my 8 year old son, and we didn’t want to sleep in an ash tray. Went to front desk to inform them of the problem. Worker was very dismissive, said «ok» a lot but wouldn’t do anything like switch our room out. There were cigarette ashes all around the inside of the toilet. Wouldn’t stay at a LA quinta again.

I stopped here on my way from Cape Cod to Arizona. They Do NOT take PREPAID CREDIT CARD’S or CASH!
Who doesn’t take cash. I offered to pay for the room and put down another $ 100.00 deposit and was told that they couldn’t do it.
Well right accross the parking lot is a motel 6 who not only takes PREPAID CREDIT CARDS but CASH as well.
And the room was 20.00 cheaper. I’m not a 5 star person. I just want a safe warm place to stay with my dogs while we travel Motel 6 did that for me!

I stayed here for one night. My room was big, everything was clean, and it was quiet. The front desk staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The shuttle from the airport wasn’t running when my flight landed, so they reimbursed my taxi fare in cash. I had an interview at Rhode Island Hospital the following morning which was at 9 in the morning. They offer a shuttle that takes you to the hospital which normally leaves at 7am, but because my interview was later, they adjusted the shuttle schedule for me with no problem. The breakfast in the morning wasnt very elaborate — no scrambled eggs or bacon, but they had many options — bagels, toast, muffins, yogurt, waffles, fruit, and hard boiled eggs. The only reason Im not giving it five stars is because the TV didnt work and when I first got to the hotel, I had to go back down to the front desk to get keys to a different room because the room-​card swiper was out of batteries on the room I was originally put into. That said, they quickly put me into a new room, and the Wi-​Fi was good enough to stream netflicks on my computer. I paid less than $ 75 for the room and you cant beat that price. This isnt a five star hotel, so you cant stay here expecting it to be like the ritz carlton, but it is not awful like many of the reviews on here suggest.

Tolerable, but barely. Bed was comfortable. No fan in the bathroom?! Spilt a little water on the floor and wiped it up with a towel, towel was black– eww! Stay at the nearby Courtyard By Marriott instead for not much more $$.

So this is clearly not a 5 star hotel, but it’s pretty much the cheapest decent place you can stay near Providence… so construct your expectations accordingly.
The staff here was really nice — everyone, during all 3 days I stayed. I did not experience any of the cops outside or room smelling like cigarettes. I did have a friend who got a room with a cigarette smell, but she got it switched at the desk without issue –problem solved.
They provide a shuttle to and from the airport every 30 mins (call for pick up) and a shuttle to (7am) and from (3pm) Rhode Island Hospital, if you’re interviewing there. I got out from my interview late (5pm) and they covered the taxi ride, which was pretty nice. Taxi rides are about $ 20 – 25 into the city, 6 bus runs into the city just out front for $ 2 (Google the schedule).
The gym is a tiny room with like 3 machines. Breakfast is pretty decent (more than I expected) — bagels, cereals, muffins, oatmeal, boiled eggs, waffles, fruit, etc.
Overall, probably a 3.5-star hotel, but I gave it 4 stars to balance out some of the unfair bad reviews. Don’t be afraid to stay here, you’ll save a bunch of money if you do.

Walked in and already there were 2 police cruisers outside ! I guess there were some drunks guys Harassing the front desk for some kind of private information … Went to my room that looked modern but smelled like stale cigs. Person in the next room was smoking some reefer and went through my vents I don’t mind it but gets kinda silly, I packed my bags and went to the Hilton garden … Last time I will ever cheap out ! Or stay at a la Quinta

Since my traveling companion’s home in The PVD™ isn’t ready yet (and I’m allowing my little sister to use my condo), we booked a quick room at this little facility for an overnight venture to WaterFire. We found several interesting anomalies…
1. The floor in the elevator was bubbling up, causing uneven and dangerous standing room.
2. The elevator mechanism sounded like it was ready to break. After using this elevator once, we used the stairs for the rest of our stay.
3. The ground floor that opens to the back parking lot smells like old cigarette smoke.
4. The controls on the in room air conditioners did not work. It wasn’t until the morning that we discovered the thermostat on the wall… in an odd location.
5. The electric sockets in the room did not work.
6. Breakfast is served in a very small room that led to a feeding frenzy of hungry and cheap travelers who were stuffing muffins in backpacks, seemingly for snacks later on.
7. There was a mysterious dark stain on the couch… with another similar stain on the wall behind the couch. We decided we didn’t want to know.
Being the trooper she is, my partner in crime decided to call it «camping» and make a night of it, after WaterFire of course.
While we’re perfectly healthy after our stay (for now… ask me tomorrow), we won’t choose this place again. It’s just not for us.

Although I had a reservation, I found out upon check-​in that the only room left was next to the elevator. I had asked specifically not get get a room near the elevator.
I was told that my room was the only room open. I did not sleep all night with the noise in this place, especially the beep-​beep of the elevator. Bring EAR PLUGs.
The room was not so cheap, but fairly clean with a working shower.

This is not a high end hotel! Once you come to terms with that, this place is just fine.
It serves it’s purpose, a place to shower and sleep. The bed is not cloud comfy, but comfy enough to fall asleep. The room is clean, but very old and out of date. Free Wireless internet and a pool for less than $ 85? That’s not too bad.
If I wanted high-​end with room service, I would pay high end prices. But i opted to travel frugally this time and this was the perfect fit. Unfortunately, with the lower price you get creaky noises and you can hear EVERYTHING outside. Not ideal if you are a light sleeper, but you get what you pay for. I was able to get a good night sleep and travel the next day.
Booking was very easy, I came across it on the American Express Travel and they had some really awesome rate combos with flight and hotel.
Not luxurious and nothing special, but a good pick if money is tight and you just need a place to crash.

Let’s just say I am a Providence girl at heart. Which means that I consider Warwick some town between Providence and Newport. I’m such a Rhode Islander…
Well, I had to find a place for my mom to stay. With a pool. With cable. With her two cats. For cheap.
Whoa.
I found La Quinta, a pet-​friendly hotel and was thrilled. Their service is definitely laid back (don’t expect a speedy check-​in). But the room was completely clean, which I wasn’t exactly expecting for a pet-​friendly place. The pool was a little on the small-​side, but did the job.
Drawbacks: no in-​room refrigerator, housekeeping was very slow (we waited a long time for towels), Windows were dirty.
Positives: CHEAP (booked online), clean, friendly staff, no gimmicks/​everything advertised as true (free breakfast, free wi-​fi, etc.)
I will definitely recommend this hotel to the other pricier joints.

One of the worst feelings you can get during travel is the sense that you’re patronizing a business that is obviously fleecing you. That business knows it, they know that YOU know it, and they still don’t care. It’s a sort of helplessness combined with bleak comedy that ends up being a fun experience only because it provides you with a great story to tell in the future.
Myself and two others recently stayed at the La Quinta in Warwick for a wedding in Providence. My first thought was that they had a lot of parking. My second thought was that this was the kind of location where you can be abducted in the middle of the night by a roving band of rednecks in a pick up truck, and no one will be there to help you. The street the hotel is on is a highway access road, and it’s certainly not pretty or even «Plain Jane».
We went inside to check in. At the front desk, the staff person gave us a curt nod when we mentioned our reservation. She then told us «I’ll be right back», and without explanation disappeared. So we waited. And waited. And waited. Keep in mind we’re trying to check in before our wedding, so we’re in a little bit of a rush. Other customers start piling up behind us. We get numerous questions along the lines of «What the hell is going on?» and «Is anyone working here?». The standard unfunny blowhard showed up and announced that the clerk must have gone out back to «kill a chicken» which was confusing as it was unhelpful.
After about 15 minutes, the clerk returned. Without apologizing, she tells us that she had to go find a room for us. This was surprising to me, that I had previously believed that the entire point of having a front desk was to be able to tell people what rooms are vacant and which rooms are booked. Apparently the hotel business instead believes that the front desk clerk should walk around the place for 15 minutes, opening doors to see which rooms are empty, and then returning to the customer to inform them and then acting like this is a logical series of events.
When I asked, slightly ironically, if she was the only person working, she gave me an icy glare and said, «No. It’s me and two housekeepers.» The girl who booked the room asked if we had the cot that we had earlier requested. The clerk looked at the computer and gave us a «No.» A short pause, and then she helpfully added, «But I do see here that you requested one». And that was it. No cot for us.
Then she told us the room, for one night, was $ 130. I had a Vietnam-​esque flashback to staying in Las Vegas at a 5 star hotel and paying roughly $ 80 a night. «This travel lodge has some balls», I think.
So we get our room, which is the first door in a hallway that looks like bastard inbred son of «The Shining» and Charles Manson. We go in to our cot-​less room and marvel at the cheap ‘70s décor and tiny windows. A small, room service door hanging says, «Do Not Disturb /​No Moleste» and I can’t help but feel a little molested myself.
And as a final dagger into the heart of our stay, we were woken at 4AM in morning by a rowdy group of 20-​somethings who decided that this was the proper time to loiter in the parking lot, listen to music from a car stereo, drink alcohol and loudly discuss oral sex techniques.
That said, the pillows were very comfortable.
