The place is really nice , the front desk person is very kind all the time , he was very nice, the location was very close everything. I love this place with my niece .
The hotel was very nice overall. The only downside was that the receptionist was not very welcoming or helpful, but everything else about the stay was great.
Staff was super nice, check in was easy. Room was nice and clean, only thing slightly less than desirable is shared bathroom was a bit dirty looking. Otherwise, great for price.

Room was super clean. Jeff was a great help checking-in and throughout our 2-day stay
Excellent stay !! Many restaurants and bars near by. The room was very spacious and clean, though it was in need of a good dusting but it was clean where it counted. The air conditioner was excellent and the bathrooms were nice with modern updates. The staff was amazing and very helpful and we loved the snacks and drinks available in the common area. The parking situation was not great but we made it work. We would definitely stay here again.
I had a great stay! Jeff made my stay even better. He was pleasant, always had snacks, was super friendly. The day he was not there, it was noticeable. I will definitely come back to Zindel just because of Jeff.
Great hotel and staff and location !!! In Little Italy , walkable to the harbor area !!! A little different not having a bathroom in our room, but easily adjusted to that !
We agreed we would stay here again. Jeff at the front desk was amazingly friendly we enjoyed chatting with him & we got recommendations from a born & raised local. The room was clean, not fans of the door-less glass shower panels. Glad we booked the King room with the private bathroom. (Just wished this room wasn't across from the shared bathroom)They give you optional ear plus but come the weekend we had noisy talking neighbors at 5am while sleeping, the walls are a bit thin.

Great value for money. Very good location. Jeff, the concierge was wonderful
I had an excellent stay at Hotel Zindel. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the boutique style made it feel unique. The location was very convenient, close to everything downtown. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
