Our stay at Hotel Zindel was great! The bed was SUPER comfy. I would say there needs to be better communication between the hotel itself and the concierge services about what amenities the hotel can actually provide. The concierge service was incredible, and there were so many great recommendations.Thoroughly enjoyed, Little Italy, the neighborhood the hotel borders!

Very clean and quiet. Staff was helpful and friendly. Only a short walk to get to all the restaurants so it's perfect for an evening walk to go get some dinner. About 15 minute walk to get to the harbor. Will definitely be staying again in the future

This hotel was okay. It's clean and located near lots of attractions. We chose it because it had a relatively affordable suite w/a small 'extra' room for our teen. As for the hang-ups, we'll start w/parking. It was an absolute nightmare every night. We understand it's not the hotel's fault per se, and we're not so privileged as to expect front door availability in a downtown area, but holy crap, every night was stressful, driving around for 15-30 minutes just hoping to see a car somewhere within a five block radius pull out. Other items: we never received turndown service (7 nights), the convenience of Air B/B-style check-in/out and lack of front desk people left a bit to be desired, they do provide coffee and snacks in the morning though. Most notable: $200+ in hidden fees charged after paying in advance (and no, we didn't pay per view, there's no bar in the rooms, etc.).

"Obnoxiously Loud!!!"

4.0

The room and hotel themselves were nice. However, this is an older building with thin walls - which they acknowledge - however, perhaps with that acknowledgment they would have considered the amount of sound going into at least the first floor rooms every day. My room was right next to the front door and the landing of the stairs, and quite close to the lounge area they created with the pool table. Everything is either hardwood type floors or tile. The doors also utilize key codes instead of keys - I like this for the convenience of not having to dig for a key card - however there is a chime every time someone enters and it resets. Every day of my 5 night stay I could hear whenever anyone entered the hotel, due to the door chime, the front desk was loudly talking each day starting at 6am, and I can tell you every time someone moved their wheeled luggage in the hall - or even better, when they slammed them up and down the stairs. I mentioned the noise issue to them, asking if they could perhaps keep it down. I was instructed to wear ear plugs. Well, that makes it a little difficult to hear your alarm in the morning. Not that I needed an alarm without them, since I was up at 5am every day due to the noise. Some ideas... get some rugs! Help your guests with their bags! Maybe stop yell talking first thing in the morning 5 ft from my door. And lastly maybe consider some design ideas with acoustics in mind so that your guest are able to enjoy their stay.

Cute hotel not far away from things to do. Modern furniture, great a/c, and a very comfortable bed. The kitchen was a plus. We had fun playing games in the game room downstairs before we went out for the evening. It was stocked with coffee and water. My only complaint was that the towels were not great (they were a little rough) and extra counter space in the bathroom would have been nice. The staff was great and response time to texts were immediate. Very friendly and helpful. It was perfect for our stay and we would stay there again.

Easy check in. Good communication. Great location. Close to lots of restaurants and bars, and can drive to most attractions within 10 minutes. Nice hotel. Older building that has been completely renovated. Highly recommend it.
