The bar was the only good part. The room was beautiful - but not functional. Extremely uncomfortable furniture. The sheets were dirty and when the girl came to change them, not only did they not have the right size, she didnt know how to make a bed. They ended up switching our room, this one didnt have enough towels and no washcloths. The "bed" was a poorly made futon, not an actual mattress. The shower is so small I'm five feet tall and couldn't bend over to wash my legs. And it was noisy. All. Night. Long. We stayed two nights, didn't sleep for any of it. The elevator does not have room for you know, people in it. Do not recommend.

I dont normally write google reviews, but this was notably terrible for the price paid. Overpriced, dingy, and unsanitary, the room was initially advertised as both being clean and having A/C available. I asked the front desk if they could turn on the A/C for our room and was told somebody would come look at it, nobody did. Hot, humid and cramped rooms. Opening a window seemed to help a bit.
The bed looked like it was made in a rush, and upon looking closer at the bed sheets, they were dirty and spotted with yellow stains throughout. No mini fridge and stupidly expensive instant coffee and other snacks.
If you are paying for overnight parking, dont even both staying here. They wanted to charge me $80 on top of what I already paid for the hotel. It is actually about the same price to stay at the Biltmore/Graduate Providence in this case, and is a much nicer stay.
Other reviews with one or two stars are accurate. If you are expecting a hotel experience, you will be disappointed with The Dean.
I have never walked into a hotel and back out with a refund within two hours. Impressively bad

What a terrible experience staying here was! Upon arriving, you cant see any indication that youve arrived at THE DEAN, just a lit up sign that says HOTEL, but what hotel?! No one knows until you get up to the entrance. Upon entering, nowhere to set any baggage. The hotel was very dark and unwelcoming. The elevator looks like a death trap. The gates on the elevator didnt work the night we were there off and on, so definitely enter at your own risk.
When I got into the room, it was very dim and not well lit at all, even with every light turned on. The only artwork on the wall was of a creepy guy. Again, not very welcoming.
Upon getting into the bed I went to pull the sheet up and much to my surprise, there was what appeared to be old dried blood or some sort of nastiness on the sheet. I immediately jumped out of the bed, called down to the desk and he said hed get it taken care of. So, I waited about 15 minutes and the guy from the front desk knocked on the door and tried to hand me a sheet. I, as the guest, shouldnt be expected to change the bedding, nor do I want just the one sheet changed. What makes me think the rest of the bedding was clean if that one sheet wasnt? So he said hed try getting ahold of the housekeeping manager. Almost an hour and a half later, the front desk guy came back with more sheets and said hed remake the bed himself because no one from housekeeping was available. Upon changing the rest of the bedding, we found he was missing more of the bedding, so he left to find it and another half an hour later a girl showed up, smelling like weed that permeated the room. She helped make the bed but she didnt have a top comforter so we had sheets for the night. Upon finally getting to bed, we heard partying and loud music all hours of the night.
The next morning, I went to take a shower and the shower knob was broken. The thermostat in the room didnt work so the room was hot all night. Also, one of the outlets by the bed didnt allow anything to be plugged into it, so that was useless. The holes seemed blocked.
They also have snacks in the room to include $15 INSTANT coffee. What?!
I would definitely not stay at this hotel and would never recommend it.
The location is the ONLY good thing about it.
