While they did offer another room, I was not paying additional for the “upgrade”. The room was incredibly dusty, way too small for 2, and no way for us to warm up food. The air conditioning unit had a ton of dust in the vent which looked neglected. The room was musty and dank. Bed was comfortable though and people friendly. Great location too! When we visit again, we will be finding another place to stay.

All went well and the room was nice. i’d expected our room over India Street to be noisy but it wasn’t at all— four floors up. The only issue that kept me from eating certain aspects of the hotel at 4 instead of 5 was that the carpet needs to be replaced as it was somewhat stained or… not very clean, anyway. Everything else was great.

Perfect location to walk Little Italy, but be prepared for a restless sleep with the amount of noise. Nothing about the sleep I had while staying here was restful, you can hear all the city sounds, all night

It’s a boutique hotel with small but well appointed rooms. The only negative, for people with mobility issues, are the amount of steps to enter the building. However, the location is fantastic. It’s right in “Little Italy” and very close to the cruise ports.
