7.8/10

This hotel is in a great location near the harbor and Little Italy, making it super convenient for exploring. While the rooms were generally comfortable, they did have some noise issues from nearby construction and traffic. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast provided some good options, but it wasn't exactly outstanding. Overall, the experience was decent, although there were a few drawbacks that shouldn't be overlooked.

I had a decent stay at the hotel. The location was fantastic, with easy access to local attractions. However, I was disappointed by the cleanliness of the room upon arrival, and the size was smaller than expected. The service was friendly and attentive, which was a plus, but the dining options could use some improvement. Overall, it was satisfactory but not without its flaws.
