The Rhode Island Convention Center is in downtown Providence and functions as one of the more well…read morerun mid sized convention venues in New England. I found the building modern, clean, and laid out in a way that made navigation straightforward once I was inside, which is not something every convention center of this scale manages consistently. The main floor is large enough to handle substantial expos and trade shows without feeling compressed, and the configuration adapts well to different event types. I have seen the venue host everything from Comic Con and car shows to cheer competitions, volleyball tournaments, flight simulation expos, and oddities markets, and the flexibility of the space is a genuine operational strength. Restrooms are well placed throughout the building, and cleanliness was consistently maintained even during the high attendance event I attended. Staff were helpful and visible, which mattered when I was navigating a large event for the first time. The downtown Providence location works in the venue's favor for most visitors. Hotels are walkable, local restaurants are accessible, and the surrounding neighborhood is well maintained. Getting into the parking garage can be confusing given the highway interchanges nearby, so arriving with that in mind and allowing a few extra minutes is sensible. For events in the New England region, it is a reliable and comfortable venue that tends to handle logistics well.

I've been to Rhode Island Convention Center numerous times in the past for cheer competitions that…read morewere held here! They've got a sky bridge, connecting the convention center to the Omni hotel and Providence Place Mall... I always thought that was super cool. After competing, we would all walk over to do some shopping. The convention center itself is pretty large, I'd say. I definitely have gotten lost a few times when trying to find the right rooms to go to. I always enjoyed going to events here. Very spacious and never had any issues. For parking, there are street parking spots, which I prefer since it avoids the parking garage fee but parking garage is always convenient.

The Roseland Cottage is truly a beautiful historical gem in CT! I recently took a tour of the house…read moreand it was super interesting. Though the grounds are always open to visitors, guided tours of the house are only available June through mid-October, Thursday-Sunday from 11AM-3PM, every hour on the hour. Timed tickets can be purchased online in advance (and this is recommended). Adult admission is $20. Once I arrived, I was greeted by staff who were very friendly. The tour guide, MaryLou, took me through the house and explained the history of Henry Bowen (the original resident of the house) and his family. She was extremely knowledgeable and it was very interesting! The tour was supposed to last around an hour, but she went for about an hour and 15 minutes. After the tour you are free to roam the grounds and take photos, and there's also a small gift shop. Non-flash photography is allowed inside the house, but no video. Overall I found this to be a really beautiful historical spot in Woodstock, CT and would definitely recommend taking a tour!

My husband and I had our wedding here, the place was absolutely beautiful and that is the only…read morething that made the venue worth it. Laurie the women who handles Roseland cottage, on the other hand ended up being a bit difficult as our wedding got closer and closer. Sadly on the rehearsal day and wedding day she was rude and did things that we did not agree upon or said she wasn't going to do. She made herself seem understanding up until those days. She gave me sass remarks and honestly made the rehearsal day and wedding day more stressful. The only thing that made it worth it, like I said, was the beautiful venue. But Laurie in the end did make things feel way more stressful and difficult. Our catering was wonderful though, I could not have asked to better catering. They handled Laurie and everything else with class. Thank you renees Bistro.

This place is a hidden gem that should be better known. It's not a bar, it's not an auditorium,…read moreit's a community center. It's fairly bare-bones, with long tables and a small concession that sells coffee and soup and snacks. What it is, though: it's all about the music. Come here for the music, and come with friends. Come an hour before the show, and bring your own dinner and drinks. Share food and conversation, until the show begins. But when the show begins, people here stop talking and listen to the music. It's a very receptive and responsive audience. Lately they have been snagging nationally known folk headliners like John Gorka and Lucy Kaplansky. It's a cozy, intimate setting, and no seat is far from the stage. It's better than going to Cambridge, and a lot closer (if you live in SE Mass or Rhode Island).

Common fence is a large single story wooden floor building that has rows of tables and chairs and a small stage and kitchen. Think large church rec hall. We brought our own picnic and alcohol and had a terrific time listening to EXCELLENT music. We forgot dessert and shared a brownie for $1.50. Parking was free and right outside the door. The people running the place were kind and efficient. Unfortunately this was their last show for the season, but we will definitely come back next year. Bravo on such a well run and accessible venue space!

The publicly provided internet they give to users for 120 hours is complete crap. It has more than…read more50% packet loss and recent speed rating of 1MBps/2MBps which are 2003 speeds. To be fair, if you do pay for the internet, the speed becomes much faster and the connection is much more reliable. This implies that they are intentionally degrading the network to drive their business model of charging people for internet anywhere throughout the building. Their coworking space is not quiet so it is very hard to focus and get work done there. They have limited phone booths for taking calls. Using a conference room (even a small one for a couple of minutes) will cost you either in points against your membership or charged. The seating in the main area is relatively uncomfortable and like I mentioned above it is not quiet. It is in the kitchen for the entire building so tenants from all over the building are walking through at all times during the day. In addition, the services they provide are very industry focused on marine and not really on technology or development. You can rent a dedicated desk and that is a viable service, but they are expensive. Something in the neighborhood of $325+ per month and then you are in an open bullpen. Standard membership is 200 a month for a floating membership and basically that provides you quality internet and access to the building 24 hours a day (if the door badges are working). In my 10 months of membership, there were at least several months where the doors were not working and I could only get in when the coffee shop was open. You can also get a daily drop in membership which is about 35/day and is the same as the standard membership. If you are looking for a quiet place to work, I would suggest the library. The internet is faster, the environment is more conducive to work and the seating is far more comfortable, though the coffee is far better at Simple Merchant than in the library.

If you are looking for a place that blends community, inspiration, and convenience, this is the spot.
