A great and non-corporate hotel in the heart of Little Italy. Dozens of dining options to walk to, and only 10 minutes from the airport. A nice home base.

Loved my stay here! The staff deserves 10 stars for how friendly they were. I felt extremely welcomed and they were so accommodating. The location is close to transit which is nice if you do not have a vehicle. Being a solo traveler, the room was perfectly sized for my needs. I also could not hear anyone around me, which was another plus. Definitely will stay again next time I’m in the area.
