My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were okay, with a nice water dispenser and big towels, but I didn't receive breakfast and had to wait a long time in the dining area. The hotel had a very good-sized safe, though.

The location was nice, offering a sweet view of the city area and perfect for a pleasant walk with great views of the entire area. It's on the edge of downtown and close to Little Italy.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience had its ups and downs. While the made-to-order omelettes, fresh fruit, bacon, and sausage were great, it was also expensive for basic and underwhelming options. However, there were good choices on the dinner menu and a variety of beer selections.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel provided decent facilities, but there were some issues like clogged drains, rusted bathroom fixtures, and a disappointing buffet breakfast.

My stay at the hotel was overall great. The rooms were clean and had a nice view of the surrounding area, which was a big plus. The staff was quite helpful and friendly, but there were a few issues regarding the room presentation that could have been handled better. The location was very good, with easy access to Little Italy and the waterfront. However, the dining experience was not up to par, and the breakfast was overpriced for its quality.

The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons; the rooms are old and outdated but have balconies for fresh air circulation, conveniently located near Little Italy. I booked 3 rooms with a special price through Booking Genius.
