The property was clean and well maintained. The staff was very nice and helpful. Next to Little Italy, lots of great Italian food places to eat. Beautiful area to sit down and listen to music or watch a street performer magician, great! Parking was not available when we arrived. We had to park off property at $45/night. Room was very small.

This a a quaint hotel in the middle of little Italy. The location is great and close the commuter train and airport. Not much on amenities but good price, clean and modern. Staff was excellent!

The lady at the desk seemed clueless and gave us keys to check in to a room that was already occupied.

As hard as we try to be perfect, we are all human and mistakes do occur. We do apologize that it happened during your stay and we will speak with our staff to ensure mistakes, such as the one you encountered, will not happen again. We hope you give us a second chance in the future to provide us with an opportunity to show you how great this little boutique hotel can be.

I asked about early check in when I booked the room 4 months in advance I was told they would as long as I called in advance day before. I did call the day before and they said no they couldn’t check in is at 3. Our event started at 2 so we were late. They also had no parking available in their hotel parking. They suggested we pay $45 and park in the lot across the street.

We understand how it can be frustrating requesting an early check-in and not receiving it. We are never able to guarantee early check-in's especially during such a busy weekend but we do our best to accommodate when we can. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
