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.

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!

The hotel is a great place to stay, clean and has the basics but VERY noisy and bright at night, even over my noise machine I travel with. If that doesn’t bother Parking is tight but they do have a small garage. Everyone was very nice, they do not offer room cleaning during stay so be prepared for that, nice central location and walkable to restaurants and bars.
