DK Eyewitness
"Popular with business travelers and families, the family-owned Provincial’s rooms have a vintage look, with antiques and exposed brick."

"It might not equate to a night at the museum, but thanks to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places, everything from the façade to the rooms of Hotel Provincial maintains a wistful sense of yesteryear"
