My room had a cockroah infestation. I asked to have my room sprayed at least but never happened so i had to leavev 2 days early. I was promesed a refund for those days because of the bugs but they never followed up as promised. I called to find out that the promise would not be honored after all. The elevator was also years past due for inspection and very small for those in need of.

The customer service at the front desk was always amazing. I wasn’t very fond of the attention to detail from the cleaning staff it wasn’t typical to what I’ve experienced at other properties. I stayed for a total of 13 days and out of those 13 days I placed the room service tag for cleaning on the door on 8 different days when leaving for work in the morning and only twice did I come back and the room was actually attended to; all the other times it seemed like the tag was ignored and one occasion I came back and the tag was placed on a different room’s door and the reason I know this is because the door tags actually have the room number they came from written on them. There were a couple situations where the parking pass I taped to my motorcycle was either removed or ignored and I came outside to notes either threatening to tow or to come to the office, but when the issue was addressed with the front desk it was handled well. The beds were fairly comfortable and in the morning there’s coffee in the front office.

I would give this place a 3 out of 5 if it wasn't for the roaches. Front desk was unable to move me to a different room or even offer a partial refund. I was just handed a bottle of roach spray. My bed and bathroom will be filled with german roaches on a daily basis despite the use of roach spray.

I cannot recommend this hotel. This hotel needs to be renovated. I was surprised to see the broken tiles in the elevator. The room had old drapes, the towels were rough, the mini fridge wobbly, etc. the only good thing I could say about this hotel is that they have free Netflix. Thank goodness we only booked for one night. I will stay somewhere else next time.

It was a cute inn. I love how it was next to little Italy so I was able to get all the food I want or a quick walk to the pier. Only downside was noise was louder than expected from traffic, people, and planes. And the other was water pressure.

I had a great experience and very convenient location. If you plan to stay in the area of little Italy it is a great spot allowing you to walk to most locations. It was much affordable compared to other locations but I will say you get what you pay for. This is a hotel for just needing a place to sleep and that’s it. Rooms were decent with a faint smell of cigarettes. Was easy to mask with a coupe of sprays of perfume. Not a great spot if you are bringing tons of luggage. The elevator is tiny only fits two people with one big suitcase. Also parking it very limited and may have to find street parking. Over all great for the price and would not mind staying again.

Was a nice stay over all.

Our stay over all was good. The rooms are a bit small but was clean. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was good. This was a decent stay for us but I dont know if it would be good for a family. Since the rooms were a bit tight.
