Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport: where to stay, areas…

A skywalk connects the terminal to the InterLink station, where the MBTA train reaches Providence in just 16 minutes; by car 13-20 minutes are enough, up to 45 at rush hour. There's no hotel at the airport itself: the real choice is between staying close to the station, in the heart of Downtown with the Providence Place mall just steps away, or heading toward the Fox Point waterfront or College Hill, home to Brown University, greener neighborhoods but a touch farther from the direct track to the airport.
