It is a convenient place to stay and not far from downtown. Great restaurants are nearby, or a nice walk in a comfortable historic college area. I do recommend for those seeking a quiet, comfortable stay.

Instructions were helpful in locating the building door. Lighting inside was a bit dim. Room was clean & comfortable. Window AC unit was helpful in cooling off the room. Communal bathroom was much bigger than expected & well-maintained. Conveniently located near Brown University campus where there was easy to find street parking that was available on the weekend.

Just know you are getting what you pay for…the shared bathrooms didn’t have restocked toilet paper and only a main roll outside the toilets which eventually ran out. Bring your own wipes! The property itself is dirty and the only clean thing in my room was the bed. If you want a luxury experience just pay more for a hotel. If you are okay with saving money for a lesser experience then this might be right for you. On the bright side the area felt safe which would have been a main concern for me. Safe Travels!

Horrible stay, room smelled like smoke, had empty bottles of booze in it. The smoke detector was removed from the wall and they tell me after I don't get the security deposit back for these reasons. For the amount I paid I should have just got a hotel Also, so much noise outside until well past midnight

It was….. fine. Cheap stay. Not “nice”, but a convenient location. Can’t remember the last time I walked into a shared bathroom to witness a grown ass man in a pants down wash situation, but here we are. As others have said, the TP situation is weird. Rolls are outside of stalls and then out of stock the next morning. Also, beware they will attempt to keep your deposit. The only way I got mine back was through a cc dispute. Despite the cheap and convenient, would not go back.

The staff are excelent very patient and communicative. However the room itself had an amonia/armpit smell and mysterious white trail stains leading to the bed. Also the room looked fine it was mostly the smell that wasnt ok with us so we had to leave. Then yes we did ask staff for a smelling spray but even that wasnt enough to cover the very bad smell and we had to leave early.

Bad experience. There are no blankets provided and the windows could not be closed. It was 40 degrees at night and Michie House refused to send anyone to close the window, thus we could not sleep at all. This is not a habitable lodging and needs to be inspected for health and safety ASAP.

The staff are friendly and helpful. There's a kitchen and a guest living room in the hallway, with other rooms surrounding them. The bathroom is public but has privacy, which is okay. The room is quiet, and, most importantly, it is close to Brown and RISD if you are visiting either, since the hotel is on College Hill. The booking assistant, Stefano, responded very quickly each time I needed anything. Overall, it's quite nice and clean.
