I expected a bit more, the pictures I saw about the hotel were tricky, the good thing was that the restaurants are less than 5 mins walking.

Loved the location, perfect for walking around Little Italy. Clean room, yes there was an odor of chlorine or strong cleaning product but it was manageable for us.

It’s really a motel- quite run down and unattractive. Location is great- that’s about it.

Great location, staff was friendly. The AC in the room wasn't working the best. Room with 2 queens was fairly clean. The restaurant on location was convenient with a good happy hour.
