My boyfriend and I stayed overnight here on a trip to Providence last fall. Though we do not consider ourselves "B&B people," we both loved this place. The manager was very friendly and relaxed (not at all the stereotype of the pushy B&B host) and he showed us a few rooms so that we could pick the one that suited us best. Old Court has the charm of an inn, the conveniences of a hotel (private bathroom, cable tv), and is in a very convenient location (between Brown University and downtown Providence -- we were able to walk to both easily). And, though it sounds trite, we truly did awaken to the smell of fresh baked muffins and ate a delicious breakfast before heading out to explore this cool little city. Couldnt wait to leave!!! No parking breakfast was horrible rate was too high. Beds were like dorm beds. Stinky room of smoke.

Gross The location was ok but we had to walk up a steep hill to get back to the inn from downtown and the parking was really tight another guest got his car window smashed in the lot evidently there is a lot of that there. The breakfast was scant and the room dingy and musty. The side of the inn had all kinds of scrap wood and plaster on the side. It looked terrible. Not very good for a romantic getaway.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Apr 17 2007 We couldn't wait to leave. We were celebrating our anniversery and decided to book a nite here. Well it was a very big let down. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the breakfast was horrible. My husband woke up in the middle of the night so uncomfortable he couldn't get back to sleep. The bathroom was small and dingy. Good location but overall disappointing.

The entire place needs an over haul for sure. Beds were squishy and bathrooms small and not pretty. Forget about the breakfast better off going out down the street.
