Exceptional!

We stayed for the weekend. And the hotel was amazing and it was in the middle of Little Italy (downtown). And a lot of the things we did was walkable. Will stay again!

We arrived late Saturday night and were first placed in a very small ADA room. Unfortunately, a wheelchair could not fully access or move around the space. The room only had one queen bed, which was quite small for two people—even for those who are petite. In addition we experienced an event unrelated to accessibility in which I have chosen not to describe or get into too much details. However after sharing our experience and concerns, the staff, who were very friendly and accommodating, moved us the next day to a larger ADA room with two beds and much better accessibility. In both rooms, the bathrooms were ADA-compliant and a good size. The hotel itself is definitely older, and the rooms run small, but you’re really paying for the location. The lobby is charming and cozy, and there’s a nice little area on the first floor where you can sit, enjoy coffee, or have a meal. There’s also a cute coffee shop and an Italian restaurant conveniently connected to the hotel.

Great hotel…Such a fun area!

Location is top notch and walking distance to so many great restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars, brew pubs, etc. plus a massive farmers market on Wed and Sat. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and quiet at night. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

The beds were comfortable, The rooms were soundproof, especially with little Italy right down below us and the extra blackout shades were very helpful for a good night sleep. The decor and the location of the hotel was perfect. The room was clean but the carpet needs to be updated though.

The place is run down in a noisy part of town, but very close to what appears to be popular restaurants. The price was good.

The location is amazing. The hotel itself is just ok. It is by far the smallest hotel room I have ever stayed in. There is literally no room for your suitcase. Our night lights above both night stands did not work. Our suitcase stand was broken (although no place to put it in the room). The food and restaurant locations around the hotel is the best. If you are looking for a room centrally located in Little Italy, stay here. You can't go wrong with the location.
