We've stayed here before. The rooms are small and it is dated but clean and the location is perfect in Little Italy. Team members are wonderful and the hotel feels safe. We recommend.
Very good location. A little noisy at night with the random person screaming out on the streets somewhere the first night but all in all a very good little hotel. Excellent little breakfast restaurant across the street also
The best location ever! Yo can walk everywhere, trolley station just a few minutes, best food options and two minutes to pier, and the staff is the best staff ever, everyone is so nice and kind!

Front desk staff Lindsey and crew were excellent. Location is great if you plan to spend time in Little Italy. Parking is difficult.
The staff were absolutely wonderful, so cheerful and kind. The location was the best part. It could use some updates and the wifi didn't work great but overall I'd recommend based on the staff and location
Location, location, location. Great food nearby, walk the waterfront, and a Farmers market on Sat.
The front desk team are so welcoming and efficient. Gold stars.
