The kitchen was a fridge, sink and microwave. It wasn't really ever necessary for me but im glad it at least had a microwave. The place serves its purpose and i was very close to eveything i wanted to do. Overall id come back here if needed. I appreciate the cleanliness but the check in process was sorta different.

The location of this Hotel is great. Everything was clean and I felt safe won’t be added security gate. HOWEVER we had to pay $41 for parking overnight in a paid parking lot and it was not evident on the listing the parking may be an issue. There is no on site parking and we spent a good chunk of time looking for the best options. Unfortunately settling on the expensive lot because nothing else was available. Nothing wrong with this hotel. Just wish we had known the parking situation upfront.

Very nice space. Small, but with everything you need. I would have wanted maybe an extra hairdryer, but I managed. Enough amenities, easy checkin and check-out, fast communication with the property. Fan working excellent. After my first day the AC was on without me asking...but the staff control it quickly before freezing :)) Very close to the park and Downtown. Overall a good experience.

Clean stay

It was very nice, the sleep was good, blowing the back parking lot was loud but the room was clean. Soaps in the bathroom could be liquid soaps not tiny bar soaps. Could offer a bottle of water to the guests, they are expensive. Thank you

Location was in good walking distance of downtown and little italy also a quick uber ride to these places. The room was clean and tidy, it was easy to get comfortable. I would just be mindful of the room you are getting as it may appear larger in photos but honestly still a cozy for me. Its just being mindful on what to expect. Overall I had a great experience staying and with their service they were very kind to me and my partner and went above and beyond to improve our stay.
