The hotel is located in the heart of Chinatown and easy to walk to other places. But the area around it has lots a panhandlers. The parking was not easy to find on the website. But is located around the corner from the hotel. The hotel itself was fine. The room was small, but clean and had everything one really needed.

Friendly staff. Comfy & Micro Rooms

Very neat and orderly hotel. Front staff was very friendly. Rooms are very comfortable but be aware these are micro rooms. Good for a couple mainly. Not for families.

Convenient location and good value.

We had a one night stay. It's conveniently located across the street from the Green Line Gallery Place stop which was perfect for us. The hotel is very modern and very clean. The staff was very friendly. We didn't realize that this was a different type of Hilton. The rooms are very small! Just big enough for a full bed (we didn't think it was a queen) you can touch the bathroom door while lying in bed. If you're not going to spend much time in the room, this is perfect. Bare amenities...no coffee pot/fridge/microwave. That's why the price seemed so good. I wouldn't want to spend more than a day or two there. For a longer stay I'd prefer I larger, full amenities option.

Good stay at a great location.

The location across the street from the subway station was excellent. The room had all the essentials, but it seemed a little lacking in terms of decor and efficiency of storage space. I’ve been in nicer microhotels. But, the fitness room was large and well equipped, availability of water stations throughout was great, the rooftop bar offered great views, and the ground floor restaurant offered good, reasonably priced food. The neighborhood is a little rough, but it is well patrolled by police.

Parking was a bit confusing and further away, then we had to roll our suitcases on cobblestone lol. The name does not identify the hotel as a micro hotel so that was a bit of a surprise when we got there to seen the tiny room!
