The location was great for our needs because our son and new daughter in law live around the corner. But the rooms are very very small. The morning coffee was hard to get t, around the corner and up and down stairs. Why not just have the coffee in the lobby? Little Italy was great!! This place is about location, not comfortable.

While they did offer another room, I was not paying additional for the “upgrade”. The room was incredibly dusty, way too small for 2, and no way for us to warm up food. The air conditioning unit had a ton of dust in the vent which looked neglected. The room was musty and dank. Bed was comfortable though and people friendly. Great location too! When we visit again, we will be finding another place to stay.

All went well and the room was nice. i’d expected our room over India Street to be noisy but it wasn’t at all— four floors up. The only issue that kept me from eating certain aspects of the hotel at 4 instead of 5 was that the carpet needs to be replaced as it was somewhat stained or… not very clean, anyway. Everything else was great.
