Staff was amazing. The room is small but doable. The shower/bathroom needs some detail cleaning. Could use some bleach or Tylex. I didnt want to step in the shower without my flipflops. Visible mold throughout. Otherwise, I had an enjoyable stay.

This property appears newly renovated, and has a European flair. It is very small, and the rooms are small too, but well put together, and maximizes space. You are centrally located to everything, and two blocks from Stearns Wharf/beach

The noise in this hotel is unbearable. The building was apparently not build with insulation or noise control in mind. We had to move rooms to go to the second floor because of how loud the people were above us just simply walking around. The cleaning crew woke you up because every move they made felt like they were cleaning the room you were sleeping in. People talking in their rooms or in the hallway were so loud you felt like they were in their room. The noise from the train and street outside were loud enough to keep you up at night. Although it was a great location in the funk zone and had some nice amenities, we will never stay there again.

The public areas were spacious and nicely furnished. The restaurant was delicious and colorful. The Inn was in a great location. The staff was delightful. My only disappointment was that the bathroom shower was so tiny that the floor flooded after each shower.

Pros: staff and facilities, including bed were excellent. Agree with other reviewers regarding the shower/water situation; other than that rooms are small though neat and clean. Cons: Room next to us had a dog that was barking at night for over an hour; finally complained to the front desk and it got taken care of. Staff was very responsive in helping to take care of it, which was a plus. We have stayed at other pet friendly hotels and this had not been an issue. Just warning if one is sensitive to noise, you may want to bring good ear plugs.
