The room was a lot smaller than expected and wasn’t very clean. The price was a little steep considering the conditions.

No parking/ air conditioner didn’t work

The hotel was very small and only had 1 elevator for the entire property. The air conditioner did not initially work and after the front desk fixed it, it still did not go under 68 degrees so the room was overly warm. The worst part was no parking offered- the lot across was also full so we had to park blocks away and take an uber back to the hotel. The overall location is nice and in the middle of little Italy but I would not stay in this particular hotel again- especially for the price

Cute small hotel located in the middle of little Italy. Lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance and a farmers market right outside the front door on the weekend. Keep in mind if their parking lot gets full you’ll have to pay a little more and park across the street. Plus reception said their parking lot is small so no large vehicles would fit.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room while small met my needs for a conference I attended. I enjoyed being right in the center of all the activity and stepping right into the Farmers Market on Wednesday and Saturday. It was noisy on these days- especially in the mornings during set up and weekend nights could be noisy as well but I’m not a light sleeper so it didn’t bother me. Overall a great stay and would stay here again.

I’ll stay again and again

Location is perfect, decor is nice and staff are friendly! Parking is secure but a tad tight, and hard to come by for $35 a night.
