Great location, but noisy on Saturdays

Great location in the heart of Little Italy. So close that on Saturday mornings starting at 6am you can hear the Farmers Market vendors setting up outside. Not fancy but would definitely stay there again!

Excellent place to stay !!!!!!
Karem, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, super comfy bed.

The location is great, tons of restaurants and cafes right outside. The bed is super comfy and while the room is a little small, it does not feel cramped and has everything you would want. The only thing I would call out is the sink is a bit high, if you are on the shorter side it might be difficult to use.
