Really nice low key hotel in a fantastic neighborhood with everything easy to walk to uber to. I wish I could give more starts because the staff was very nice and location so nice and the price was very affordable for the area, but I had 2 things that ruined my stay: 1) the room had a very strong smell like acetone. I got used too but I was not sure what it was. 2) there is absolutely not isolation between room. I could hear everything from my neighbors including their snoring! Breakfast is very light and I always went too late to get the good bakery.

Front desk staff was really friendly. The breakfast was coffee, pastries, yogurt and fruit. Honestly not bad. The building condition is really where the 3 stars come from. Pretty old/ worn down and the rooms look significantly worse than the pictures. But it’s an inexpensive hotel in a good location.

The good....the location in Little Italy was excellent. The bad....the rooms are outdated and in need of renovation. The bed squeaked horribly, the A/C didn't work, the bathroom door sticks, etc. Overall, Id pick somewhere else if I returned.
