"The Marriott woos with a generous plate of perks. Chocolate chip cookies and a basket of fresh fruit, a mountain of cushy pillows, free parking - this is a hotel that really treats you like a guest."

It is almost easier to say what the rooms lack than what they have: There are no minibars or refrigerators, no coffeemakers, safes or iPod docks, and the baths are shower-only models that are tiled floor to ceiling in an effort to avoid having to install shower curtains.

"A stylish, welcoming blend of throwback style and modern features."
Condé Nast Traveler
"With a craft cocktail bar, a karaoke lounge, and a beer garden, The Dean is yet more proof that Providence is no longer a sleepy college town."

"The Dean, in a century-old building that once housed a brothel, was named with a nod to nearby Brown University, and the look is equally smart."
