Cute hotel not far away from things to do. Modern furniture, great a/c, and a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was a plus. We had fun playing games in the game room downstairs before we went out for the evening. It was stocked with coffee and water. My only complaint was that the towels were not great (they were a little rough) and extra counter space in the bathroom would have been nice. The staff was great and response time to texts were immediate. Very friendly and helpful. It was perfect for our stay and we would stay there again.

The communication provided prior to check-in made my arrival and check in super easy. I was greeted upon arrival and offered a glass of wine. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Located right in the heart of little Italy being spoilt for choice when it comes to good food, it was also super easy to get around without a car.

Upon arrival we were given our room number and code, the room was a disaster. Bed was messed up and trash everywhere!I had to call about 5 times to get a person on the phone. Was then given another room… the room had a family already in the room when I opened the door. Terrible hotel.

I wish there was parking available but the bed was so comforting and relaxing. Very nice space and there should be a shower door for the shower other than that I had a great stay and I would go back again.

The room and Hotel in general was clean. Communication was good. Unfortunately, I did not know beforehand that there were extra costs concerning extras the Hotel offered. The Hotel is a little loud, but there were earplugs so that was okay to manage.

This hotel was okay. It's clean and located near lots of attractions. We chose it because it had a relatively affordable suite w/a small 'extra' room for our teen. As for the hang-ups, we'll start w/parking. It was an absolute nightmare every night. We understand it's not the hotel's fault per se, and we're not so privileged as to expect front door availability in a downtown area, but holy crap, every night was stressful, driving around for 15-30 minutes just hoping to see a car somewhere within a five block radius pull out. Other items: we never received turndown service (7 nights), the convenience of Air B/B-style check-in/out and lack of front desk people left a bit to be desired, they do provide coffee and snacks in the morning though. Most notable: $200+ in hidden fees charged after paying in advance (and no, we didn't pay per view, there's no bar in the rooms, etc.).
