"Love the breakfast it’s always good. My room wasn’t neat. A negative was at 2 o’clock in the morning on Saturday night. There was blaring hip-hop music coming from the parking lot and it was so loud. It woke me up."

Convenient location
"The location is great, right in the heart of little Italy, and walking distance to a lot of places. The room itself was clean, but quite small. The air conditioner really struggled to keep up, and the power went off and back on at least 5x while we were in the room over a 2 night stay."
