Nice Little Italy neighbhorhood. Close to airport and highway. My room (505) was facing the highhway, so in a noisy environment, but keeping the bathroom fan on overnight drowned the noise and made it ok.

The staff were very attentive and pleasant! The facilities were as expected. A bit noisy with the airplanes but we knew that when we booked. We did really like how Little Italy was literally a block over. Wd didn't realize how close it was. We were there for 1 night and worked for what we needed. I would recommend for convenience and location.

If you need a place to rest your head you’re in the right spot. The place is pretty dumpy, stained sheets, barely any soap in the rusted out dispenser in the shower, cracked mirror… I mean, the location in great, but the rooms are bare minimum what is required. You’ll Sleep ok, but for the price… Lind of a dump.
