Great location, staff was friendly. The AC in the room wasn't working the best. Room with 2 queens was fairly clean. The restaurant on location was convenient with a good happy hour.

It was a nice hotel in total, great area to go walking as long as you want to and eat of course. The only downside to my stay was the fact that you could hear people's beds in rooms around you, which was funny to hear but I haven't experienced that in the past at any hotel.

Stay was solid, only thing that was slightly bothersome was the deposit amount. 250$ i felt it was a lot, yes you get it back regardless but most hotels charge around 100$-150$ or maybe im not up to date with hotel lrices now but jeez. Lastly the room was clean like usual but unfortunately when getting ready for bed upon raising the sheets there was a small animal dropping. Not a big deal for us but i suggest checking rooms now for possible animal/rodents so it doesnt get out of hand, just thought it was wierd. Staff was friendly and location was quiet and had a good night sleep. Thank you for the stay andbtreating us well.

The hotel was in little italy, great restaurants near by. Unfortunately the pictures from Expedia of the hotel were not what up to date. The room was very old and the shower head had very little water coming out.
