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

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.

Cute hotel in a perfect location right at entrance to Little Italy. Close to great restaurants. Nice coffee shop downstairs. Staff very nice. At least for now there is a small parking garage underground. I read that this may be taken out so check with the hotel directly.
