Very mediocre hotel. The lobby is deceiving. The rooms at the back are like motel feel. The room was tiny but clean and upgraded. Towel quality good. Bed and pillow adequate. Pillow could be better quality and softer. The AC turned on and then froze and I could not adjust it or turn it off. No extra blankets were provided. Called from desk in the morning and they did not pick up - had to leave a message. So if you want sitting from front desk, you need to go down to the lobby.

Loved the location, perfect for walking around Little Italy. Clean room, yes there was an odor of chlorine or strong cleaning product but it was manageable for us.
