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.

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

This was a good hotel in a fantastic location. Desk staff was great and very accommodating. The room was a bit dated but still very nice with a great view. Again the location was fantastic.
