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.

We love this hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The hotel is special to us as we stayed here many years ago before renovations. It remains quaint and beautiful with a spectacular view of the city. The room is small but cozy and very clean. Though more renovations are being done, we still had use of amenities in the conference room where you can meet other guests. The atrium is open and adorable with an attached cafe that is wonderful.
