The parking lot is hellish for the most experienced driver. They should invest in possibly parking cars across the street or invest in a valet. I did not like the location of my room it was outside of the main building. Although it overlooked little Italy I felt separated from the whole hotel experience.

Front desk told me there was a double booking at check in. I was left to deal with this independently and after wasting an hour with Expedia, there was apparently, no issue at all. There is no pool onsite. Location is great for walking to anything in Little Italy

We've stayed before and always enjoy it here. The rooms are small but always clean and all the team members are super friendly. It's a perfect place in Little Italy.

Room a/c was full of dust/moldy, desk worker showed me 3 more rooms all with the same issues, i worked in the maintenance field and always check because of allergies etc. The girl at the front desk did refer me to another hotel of which I am grateful.

This was my 2nd time staying here. Both were good experiences. Clean, basic hotel with friendly staff and great location. Transit close by we walked about 2 blocks to the station and quite literally feet away from Little Italy entrance. Farmers market right outside the front door every Saturday was an extra bonus.
