Quiet in comparison with India street. Still used earplugs, but not so much noise considering it’s right in town.

The bed sheets were turned inside out, there was no blanket, no TV except for paid channels that you had to use your login to watch. The shower was wet when I got into the room. Horrible experience and I won't be going back.
Porto bedsheet inside out.

Stay was solid, only thing that was slightly bothersome was the deposit amount. 250$ i felt it was a lot, yes you get it back regardless but most hotels charge around 100$-150$ or maybe im not up to date with hotel lrices now but jeez. Lastly the room was clean like usual but unfortunately when getting ready for bed upon raising the sheets there was a small animal dropping. Not a big deal for us but i suggest checking rooms now for possible animal/rodents so it doesnt get out of hand, just thought it was wierd. Staff was friendly and location was quiet and had a good night sleep. Thank you for the stay andbtreating us well.

The hotel was in little italy, great restaurants near by. Unfortunately the pictures from Expedia of the hotel were not what up to date. The room was very old and the shower head had very little water coming out.

Images provided prior to booking were deceiving. While the room appeared to have been cleaned, there was almost no lighting along ground floor corridors. The room I was assigned (which was directly facing the parking area) had no deadbolt or lock in the handle at all, just the bar lock which felt unsafe and strange for a ground floor room. There was no internet or wifi provided and no cell phone service in the room. Additionally, there was mold and a hole in the floor in the bathroom. I left within 30 mins and cancelled my 2nd nights’ reservation.

The location was amazing but the room was not clean. The location was very walkable to nice restaurants, shops and nightlife. The room was similar to a motel 6 inside. The bathroom was filthy and the shower clogged up every time a shower was taken.

The walls are very thin so you can hear everything! Even obnoxious guests above you that party til past 3am! I know this is out of the property's control but what can you do! Other than that the location is great! The property could use some renovation but for the price it cant be beat
