The property is located in a very convenient area. You can walk to little Italy and to the tall ships. The room was clean especially the bathroom. Using the elevators at peak times was almost impossible as they were doing maintenance on one. My husband was not happy that the coffee ran out at breakfast. But the staff were nice and professional. All in all a good place to stay.
