This was my 2nd time staying here. Both were good experiences. Clean, basic hotel with friendly staff and great location. Transit close by we walked about 2 blocks to the station and quite literally feet away from Little Italy entrance. Farmers market right outside the front door every Saturday was an extra bonus.

Cute hotel in a perfect location right at entrance to Little Italy. Close to great restaurants. Nice coffee shop downstairs. Staff very nice. At least for now there is a small parking garage underground. I read that this may be taken out so check with the hotel directly.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff was great. Very small room, but great location. Bathroom had a stench upon arrival. Fire alarm was low on batteries, so randomly started beeping around 3AM. No on call help so we were told to take care of it ourselves. Parking was unavailable but understandable because of the holiday. Did get a later checkout.

Room was a little dirty, one of the cabinet doors was broken and a light switch wasnt working correctly but other than that, great place to stay. The beds were insanely comfortable and they had a couple different pillows with different firmnesses on each bed.

This boutique hotel in the heart of Little Italy is an absolute gem. It's quaint, charming & perfectly situated right in the middle of all the action. The rooms are on the smaller side, but comfortable, thoughtfully designed, with great views of Little Italy & even glimpses of the harbor. A huge plus for me personally was the in-room fridge & the microwave conveniently located in the conference room on the first floor--perfect for guests like me who tend to eat in the room while others are asleep. Those little details made a big difference. What truly sets this hotel apart, though, is the stellar customer service. A special shout-out to Anneliese & Joe at the front desk--they were outstanding. Anneliese's lovely attitude, warm smile & welcoming energy made us feel like we were VIPs. She was incredibly patient & accommodating, even taking the time to show us three different rooms so we could choose the one that suited us best for our Anniversary stay. We ultimately chose the corner room & it was absolutely the right decision. With four full-length windows spanning both walls of the corner room, the view was extraordinary--perfectly capturing the charm & vibrant energy of Little Italy. It was the best of both worlds: the comfort & coziness of being indoors while soaking in the sights, movement & character of the surrounding city. Watching Little Italy come alive from the room was truly a highlight of our stay. Both Anneliese & Joe were also super informative, offering great

Room was clean and spacious. Shower pressure was terrible. It had very little pressure. Checking in and out was very easy. We encountered one female staff who was texting while helping us. She said she would have towels sent to our room but they never came.
