The area is safe and walkable, just a few steps away from all the great restuarants little italy has to offer and waterfront park. I really liked that they had lockers in the lobby i could keep my luggage in even after i checked out as i had a late flight. Super convienient. One downside is that rooms don't block out any sound whatsoever and there was construction...
