Pros:

Quarto super confortável e espaçoso. Local muito bem localizado, ao lado de tradicional rua repleta de restaurantes e bares.

Cons:

O café da manhã poderia ter um local melhor, mais reservado (fica ao lado da porta de entrada) e com mais opções.

En general estuvo muy padre la experiencia, solo si hay algunas cosas a mejorar
Pros:

La ubicacion es inmejorable, nos gusto mucho. Esta super cerca de Little Italy y comimos super rico todos los dias. El personal es muy amable, vimos a 3 personas y las 3 nos ayudaron o nos saludaban.

Cons:

Al llega el hotel tenia un olor raro, eso no me gusto. Los cuartos se ven mucho mas grandes en las fotos que lo que realmente son, tambien al estar tan cerca de una zona popular no hay casi estacionamiento, nosotros rentamos carro por lo que el primer dia si fue complicado y utilizamos el estacionamiento con costo de 25 USD. Creo que deberian hacer un descuento si te vas a quedar varios dias para que convenga utilizar ese parking, porque tratamos de no volver a usarlo por el precio. El desayuno, solo es cafe, crossaints, yogurt, frutas y jugos individuales. Cada pais considera el desayuno diferente asi que para nosotros fue muy poco. Las calles huelen a pipi, hay mucho vagabundo que quiere interactuar contigo, se que esto no es del hotel pero consideralo.

Ok 😊
Pros:

La stanza era piccola ma carina, pulita, in una buona posizione per esplorare Little Italy a piedi.

Cons:

La colazione non ha una sala dedicata, ma un angolo nella reception dove ci sono dei prodotti confezionati e il caffè. Comunque non mi è dispiaciuta.

Comfortable Stay in a Great Location with Excellent Hospitality
Pros:

The hotel staff were available 24 hours a day and were always polite, friendly, and helpful. The location in Little Italy was excellent, with many restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with useful amenities such as a microwave and an iron. Everything was well-maintained, and I had a comfortable stay without any inconvenience.

Cons:

The breakfast selection was quite limited and repetitive. It would have been better if the menu changed daily and included more options such as eggs, sausages, and sandwiches. Housekeeping was provided every other day, which was acceptable, but daily service would have made the stay even more comfortable.

Nice stay. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful
Pros:

No where to park to load. Basically on street with emergency flashers on. Paid parking is too far to walk with your luggage and personal items.

Cons:

Accidentally fill out my top question in the wrong box.
