Property was nice and staff was very friendly. Parking was 35.00 a day... very tight space. It was an okay experience here. I would say again moreso for the convenience.

Great location and very walkable to a lot of food options and the train. Room seemed fairly clean but very small and a little stuffy. But overall a decent place to stay for a couple nights.

Fitness center was inaccessible with the hotel key card, room was fairly clean, but ice bucket was still full of water from a previous guest. Main complaint would be that housekeeping was vacuuming the hallways and opened our door to clean the door area while we were still occupying the room and it started us a bit. Great location though and fair prices

This has been our go-to hotel ever since discovering Little Italy 5 years ago. It's close. It's convenient everything within the area, but the noise over the last two stays has become unbearable. They're saying they need renovation because of the pipe situation. We've tried to work with the hotel about compensating us and they're unwilling to do that. They're saying they're going to talk to the manager. Unfortunately this little home away from home will no longer be where we stay. It's just too noisy.

Pre-cruise overnight stay. Excellent location at the entrance of the Little Italy area. Plenty of restaurants/bars around. Close proximity to the cruise port (walkable). Great staff.

Perfect location!

Perfect location right in the heart of little Italy. My queen room was quaint but did the job. Mini fridge was nice to have and bed was comfy. Staff was very accommodating, was my second stay here and I’d definitely stay again!
