The Hotel May is in a great location: less than a block from the subway, close to MANY restaurants, convenience stores, etc. It’s stylish and comfortable. Includes a decent breakfast and the price is right! It is located on an alley and there’s no good views and little light but that’s not so bad considering all the positives.
