“A pleasant suprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 25, 2012

Forget the big box chain Hotels and try a nice European style hotel. We stayed in room 1B, which was a 2 room apartment style room. It came with a complete well stocked kitchen, including microwave popcorn.
The room was very clean with 2 Flat screen TV'S, one in the living area and one in the bedroom. The Bathoorm came with a jacuzzi Tub, better grade towels, hair dryer and a nice grade of soap, shampoo and shower cap.
The bed was a foam matteress which was very comfortabe.
The hotel is located in a active night life area with 20-30 restraunts in walking distance, As you walk out of the hotel you come onto a Plaza with about 15 restraunts, all with outside seating. The night we were there 8/23/12 there was music playing on the plaza. It is a little confusing finding the entrance to the hotel but not unlike what you find in Europe. The parking is Valet Parking since it would be impossible to find parking with all the restraunts. This could have been explained better on the web site and Hotwire which I used. We asked that our car be ready at 6:30 AM and it was waiting for us when we checked out.
I used Hotwire and paid $65.00 plus $20.00 for parking which was half the rice of the local chain hotels which would never have been as nice or comfortable.
Do your self a favor and try something different.

Room Tip: Try room 1B

“Below Expectations”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 1, 2012

Nice staff and great price. Those are the highlights. There is tile everywhere, which makes for an impersonal/institutional feel. Bed and pillows were foam/terrible. Clean enough. No elevator. View of the A/C condensor. They'd be better off getting rid of the kitchenettes and making the one room bigger. I think they're going for a cramped, European look, but that only works if you're actually in Europe.

Also, Federal Hill is party central and like a Jersey Shore theme park. My Sicilian wife and I were appalled. Boston's North End, it is not! Next time we'll stay elsewhere.

Room Tip: If you must stay here, ask for a quiet room. 2E wasn't bad.

“THE WORST HOTEL EVER”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 25, 2012

The worst hotel ever
I stayed here with my 2 kids and when i got there i told them that the room smell like smoke and they told me that the was no smoking on the room. 2 days later i got charge 150 dollars for smoking in the room but the best part is that i dont smoke. So if you want to stay here make sure you get that clear before they charge your credit card for 150 dollars. I called to get a refund on my card and the guy at the service desk was really rude no help. Plus if you like sleeping with loud music until 200 in the morning you can stay here aweful experience never again.

“Horrible service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Only 1 air conditioner worked. The rooms down stairs have a view of a back alley with dumpster and you can smell the dumpster in the room. The bed sheets were not clean and the owner was present and was extremely rude. Terrible customer service.

“too loud if you need sleep”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed June 25, 2012

The location is great if you're partying it up all night long and can sleep through lots of noise. First of all, everything I went to bed at around 2am with dance music blasting in the background. I wish I was having a good time at the club too, but instead I was trying to sleep...

Second, there was a dumpster outside the window and one morning somebody started moving it with a big vehicle AT 7 IN THE MORNING. 15 minutes into the procedure, the hotel manager had the people stop and I overheard him saying that they can't be loud until 9am. But being awoken at 7:00am to loud sounds outside the window was just terrible.
