There was an exterior door propped open all night (which didn’t feel safe), the bed and towels were scratchy and uncomfortable, and room service left the room smelling like cigarettes (seriously).

Certainly the worst hotel we ever slept in — we both travelled across North America and world. We booked it quickly without checking it and because it was close to airport. Room had a strong and a bad odor. Toilet was not clean. Shampoo and towels were just totally not good, hotel two entrances were at times left open and anyone from the street could walk in. No iron or ironing board in rooms….

Avoid This Hotel at All Costs! This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire business career. The experience was beyond disappointing—everything from the service to the cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable. The rooms were filthy, with stained sheets, dust everywhere, and a terrible odor that made it difficult to sleep. The bathroom was even worse—mold in the shower, dirty towels, and a sink that barely drained. It was clear that housekeeping either didn’t do their job or simply didn’t care. As for the service, it was just as bad. The staff was rude and unhelpful, making even basic requests seem like a burden. Check-in was slow and disorganized, and when I raised concerns about the state of my room, they were dismissive and unwilling to assist. To top it off, the overall atmosphere of the hotel felt neglected and run-down. The hallways smelled musty, the carpets were stained, and the entire place just felt unhygienic and poorly maintained. I would strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere. There are far better options available for the same or even lower prices. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Average Amenities Great Location

Hotel is probably only good for two things: free on-site parking and the location in walking proximity to Little Italy. Everything else is very average or subpar. Cleanliness is okay at best, comfort is very poor. We were only given 3 pillows for a queen room, and one small throw blanket, along with no comforter on the bed, only sheets. The A/C unit works… for about 20 minutes and then shuts off randomly and had to be kicked in order to restart. One plus-side is streaming services available on the TV. Overall only stay for free, convenient parking and location.

Do not stay here. There are roaches, construction happening, the rooms are dirty, and our blowdryer caught on fire. We did not end up staying the night because of how poor the conditions were, and were denied a refund.

This is an older hotel in a busy traffic area. It is very convenient to Little Italy and offers free parking. TV is terrible with mostly old programs or repetitive news.
