Convenient location and good value.

We had a one night stay. It's conveniently located across the street from the Green Line Gallery Place stop which was perfect for us. The hotel is very modern and very clean. The staff was very friendly. We didn't realize that this was a different type of Hilton. The rooms are very small! Just big enough for a full bed (we didn't think it was a queen) you can touch the bathroom door while lying in bed. If you're not going to spend much time in the room, this is perfect. Bare amenities...no coffee pot/fridge/microwave. That's why the price seemed so good. I wouldn't want to spend more than a day or two there. For a longer stay I'd prefer I larger, full amenities option.

Good stay at a great location.

The location across the street from the subway station was excellent. The room had all the essentials, but it seemed a little lacking in terms of decor and efficiency of storage space. I’ve been in nicer microhotels. But, the fitness room was large and well equipped, availability of water stations throughout was great, the rooftop bar offered great views, and the ground floor restaurant offered good, reasonably priced food. The neighborhood is a little rough, but it is well patrolled by police.

Parking was a bit confusing and further away, then we had to roll our suitcases on cobblestone lol. The name does not identify the hotel as a micro hotel so that was a bit of a surprise when we got there to seen the tiny room!

Nice, good (well, OK) rates. On checkin I was informed that "this is a micro hotel" which means that the room was tiny. Tiny like no drawers, nowhere to put an open suitcase for unpacking, the micro-desk's chair didn't have room to pull back enough to get into the chair.
