This was a fantastic location! The room was cute and perfect for one person. Dark, though. It basically faced a concrete wall. So didn't make sense to even open the window during the day. But for a quick overnight and great walking distance to Little Italy (next door) it was awesome. Short trips I would stay here, longer I might request a room that had a better view if they have them.

Cozy getaway in Little Italy
We enjoyed our stay here. The front desk was friendly and helpful. The room and bed were small but quiet. Great location walking distance to many restaurants. Offsite Parking is less expensive than other hotels in the area.

Great location, hotel needs some TLC
Great location. Loved being right outside of Little Italy, especially on Sat AM for the Farmers Market. The condition of the hotel was more worn than reflected in photos and reviews, with chips and dents on walls and doors. The vanity was dated and in poor condition, unlike the pics of modern vanities on the website; my sink had a clog so it drained very slowly. All the buttons on the AC were cracked so it was hard to figure out which button did what.

Go somewhere else!
DO NOT STAY HERE!!! When you get there, they tell you parking is off site at another garage. They charge you $25 a night for parking, so we paid $50 for our two nights. We utilized the trolley system while there, so we knew we wouldn’t be moving the car. The front desk person gave us tickets for the garage to get out (since we paid through the hotel) and when we left on Sunday the tickets were expired and we had to pay an additional $60 to get out of the garage. When I called to resolve the issue, no one answered the phone for almost 5 hours. I finally reached someone and he basically said the garage should have been called. I’ll definitely be filing a complaint with the better business bureau and on all reputable sites. While in the room, there were hairs on the toilet and in the bed. There was also blood smeared in the toilet/shower area and other crusty looking things on the wall. The walls are extremely thin, so if you’re a light sleeper this is not the place for you. The beds are lumpy and the AC is very loud. The one perk to this hotel is it’s next to all the restaurants and farmers market on Saturday. But so are many other, much nicer hotels for around the same price if not a little more. This is more of a MOTEL using “boutique” to sound nicer than it is.

Minimalist dream.
This place is the perfect little Italy location. Small, clean, minimal rooms but honestly just perfect for a couple nights in the city.
