Good hotel, very central, nice style. Some rooms are very quiet, I was very lucky. Big rooms, personal was very helpful and nice. No breakfast but lots of restaurants around. The "resort fee" was included in the booking.com price but the must not be the case. You should double check when booking.

Great location in Little Italy, with many nearby restaurants, cafes and wine bars. The staff was very helpful, the room clean, and the bed comfortable. We had a tremendous dinner at a local Italian restaurant. And as a surprise bonus, on Saturday we woke up to a farmers' market on the street right outside our hotel: five blocks of crafts, fresh produce and delicious baked goods. We will return soon.
