Las habitaciones están limpias, es sencillo pero confortable para pasar la noche, céntrico de los atractivos turísticos (restaurantes, bahía, museos, Mall) se debe pedir un papel de permiso para estacionamiento y afuera está algo sucio y descuidado. Lo único que deberían mejorar es en la hora de check in porque siento que es muy tarde igual el check out recorrerlo una hora más

The bed was comfortable enough, and the location is really convenient for attending conferences at the convention center. However, it’s on the approach to the airport, so the airplane noise is quite loud. The room was clean, but everything was pretty worn down. I hung a do not disturb sign on my door as I do not like cleaners coming in with my stuff around (and I am a really neat person so it’s not like waiting till the end of my 3 day stay is going to result in a huge job for the cleaners) but it was ignored, which I did not appreciate.

Location couldn't be better - right next to Little Italy so you're close to the action but far enough that it isn't loud at night. And you could walk to Seaport in 15-20 minutes, or downtown in half an hour. Also close to public transit stops. However property was old, with minor upkeep issues, though no deal breakers. Initially the shower in our room could only divert a fraction of the water from the tap to the showerhead when we pulled the knob, so the water pressure from the showerhead was inadequate. And although we asked the staff to fix it for a couple of days in a row, they either never tried or were unable to fix it. However they did easily agree to move us into another room when we brought up on day 3 that it still wasn't fixed. The second room had a flickering light, which they quickly changed to a new bulb at our request. Overall, excellent value and location, but next time we would pay more to stay somewhere a bit better, ideally in the same general area.

Hotel in a bad neighborhood.
This hotel is located in the bad neighborhood. There were some people dealing with drugs outside of the hotel, and some other guests bringing grocery cart full of stuff, seem like they are homeless.

Great location with just steps away from restaurants, nightlife, and enjoying Little Italy just in general. Parking is a bit small but surely timing it right and not using your car til you leave is super helpful as the parking is free. There is one very small elevator with two ways of access into the building. Overall a good spot to stay and would recommend to others who want something cheap but still feel pretty comfortable staying there.

Turn away now!!! Do not be fooled by the price or pristine location. This place is an absolute disaster. I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Outdated, dirty, sink broken, tv broken, dirty towels, dirty floors, sheets leave you feeling dirty. A place in complete disarray and nasty. Construction without knowing construction was underway. A complete joke of a property, especially downtown. I'm not sure how they stay open, other than the classic bait and switch. Pay $50-100 more for a decent stay and not to feel less than

There's really nothing to enjoy or like about this property. The room was dirty, not filthy, I'll give them that. But the floor was not cleaned, dirty water marks on the bathroom floor, multiple hairs all around, and random unidentified objects behind the make shift microwave and fridge. The facility is ultra-dated. The sink was stopped up - disgusting. The TV - non-operable. Why does the TV not work? Noise - on 100 Smell - good luck. Overall - I would not recommend to my worst enemy. In need of severe attention and love. Use your money else where, really

I’ve never left a bad review to ANY hotel. Probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The towels were like Brillo pads and small. Our pillows were hard and we saw cockroaches one night. Made it hard to sleep the next 2 nights. We had to use the stairs(we were on the 4th floor) more than we could use the elevator. We told the front desk that it wasn’t working and they said ‘oh, I’ll let the maintenance person know it’s not working, again’ We finally just started using the stairs because it would never show up when we called for it. I also found the outside doors still “open” when we where returning from being out. Very unsafe. Not a good place to stay. Spend a few more bucks and get a quality room. This place is horrible!

Upon entering the room we were met with a very strong bleach smell. This was evident in all the rundown hallways as well. We then noticed cockroaches all over the bathroom coming up from the drains. They obviously pour bleach down the drains to mask the problem. The elevator is sketchy and tiny. Homeless people and vagrants in and around the hotel. Wifi was spotty
