7 Cross Street
"AMAZING location. Great for if you’re planning on hitting the town and want somewhere near night life and super walkable. Ambiance from the Latin Quarter was great. Saw reviews of it being too loud, but it was really quiet with the windows closed so not sure what that’s all about. Very nice staff ..."

The Residence Hotel
"Place is in a great location but the room is VERY small with no window directly to the outside. It’s also above a very busy and loud bar. We were told music stopped at 1:30 on weekend but it went past 2am."
