When is the best time to go to Charles?

The best time to visit Charles, Rhode Island, is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller. Late spring offers mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 22°C (60°F to 70°F). The town's gardens and parks are in full bloom, making it a lovely time for strolls along the waterfront or exploring the historic streets. You'll find that many outdoor activities and attractions are open, but without the peak summer crowds. This period is ideal for couples looking for a relaxed getaway with comfortable weather for exploring. Early autumn also provides an excellent experience, with temperatures generally between 10°C and 20°C (50°F to 68°F). The foliage around Charles begins to display beautiful colours, especially in areas like Colt State Park. This season is superb for those who enjoy scenic drives and outdoor dining without the summer rush.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Charles hotel for you.

Best Western Providence Warwick Airport Inn

10/10 Excellent

"All very nice"

Omni Providence Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was very good. Other than external noise, some sirens, it was great. The gym, restaurant (Flemings), front desk staff and valet were all terrific. Friendly, attentive and informative. We walked to an event at the Amica Pavilion and the front desk gave us detailed, accurate instructions on how to get there. We will stay here again and recommend them highly."

Bally's Twin River Lincoln Casino & Hotel

8/10 Good

"It was a clean room, it was very nice actually. Parking was good, the person who checked me in was helpful. Didn't take a long time like many casinos do. Actually everything was fine except for one only a little cork to the room... There was no desk or a table or anything to eat at."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Warwick-Providence (Arpt) by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My rating would be 4.5 but not given that option. Best hotel breakfast we have recently had. The eggs actually tasted like eggs. I think Bob is name of man who takes care of breakfast, and is shuttle driver. He was great. He indicated hotel is about to be totally renovated. Staff was all friendly and helpful. Room was clean and quiet. The only disappointment is pool is only open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. When I checked out the pool the following day the water was cloudy. There was definitely a chemical problem so I was unable to swim."
