I find this 14-room small hotel a very interesting development. I hope we see more of this, especially along Broadway. I have stayed in these "pensione" type places in Europe and since there is so much odd space in the historic core, I would think this model would do very well. Having a restaurant/bar in the retail space will also create more street activity.
