My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location in Little Italy is fantastic, with easy access to many restaurants and attractions. The service I received was generally good, particularly from Megan, who was very helpful. However, the first room I was given had some issues, including strange smells and limited electrical outlets. While the second room was much better, the Wi-Fi was weak. Overall, it was a decent experience, but some aspects could use improvement.

6.4/10

Recently stayed at this hotel and had a mix of experiences. On the upside, the staff was attentive and friendly, and the location in Little Italy offered a great selection of dining options nearby. However, the breakfast could use a serious overhaul, and there was loud construction noise during the day that detracted from the experience. Overall, it's decent for the price, but some areas need improvement.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were small and had a somewhat damp smell, but were equipped with a refrigerator and microwave. The dated decor didn’t seem to match modern standards, and the windows faced a noisy area, which wasn’t ideal.

Service was definitely a strong point; the staff, especially the bell captain, was attentive and welcoming.
