Great launching pad
This is a great "travelers" hotel from which to launch forays into the city. It is located on the bustling edge of Little Italy a few blocks from the trolley station. Three separate color coded trolley lines take passengers to various spots around the city. Small but adequate rooms, comfortable bed, extremely accomodating staff.

We stayed here because we wanted to be in the heart of little Italy. We enjoyed the restaurants and farmers market. Just be aware they’re a lot of homeless in this area.

I loved the location and proximity to the Trolley. The amenities are basic and the rooms are clean and quiet. With so many dining and shopping options, you’ll be glad yo return to your room to recharge. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Don’t stay here
The location in Little Italy is good and that’s about the only thing besides a Smart TV, Starting off with the bed that I booked was for a Queen and I received a much smaller bed, which was very uncomfortable. The sheets were dirty. The parking situation you have to pay $25 quarter of a half a mile away or you can park close by for $50 overnight, the room is important. I saw mold and rust in the room, which explains the smells. Looks like an old hotel did some minor repairs and that’s it.

Overcharged and disappointed
The room was pretty small; good for single or two people. The ac was fairly loud, a good white noise. However, didn’t feel as secure after discovering that the door chain seemed like it’s been tampered with. Also, I was overcharged for the stay. The quote I got from the hotels.com app was $405.19 but my credit card showed a higher charge of $466.48 plus the $50 for the parking. No explanations as so why that is. I’m very disappointed. Maybe I should have booked somewhere else. I just don’t think I’ll recommend this place to family and friends.

There are no make up removers in the room. Apparently there was make up or something on a towel and they charged us $20 after the fact for that never mind the was chest high for my wife. Doubt we will be back.

I stayed here the night and someone ended up smashing my front windshield and they put an extra charge of $140 onto my account due to a sheet not being able to be used again? It was also very inconvenient walking around for parking wouldn’t stay here again.

We usually stay at another hotel very similar just around the corner and this time we booked Urban Boutique and it’ll definitely be one we will recommend and return to. Front staff super friendly and the hotel is very quiet. Only noise you’ll hear is people walking down the halls.

This hotel is right on the heart of a really fun neighborhood full of restaurants, bars, and cafes. There's a nice farmer's market on Saturdays too. And there's relativity easy to access public transit nearby. The hotel itself was fairly nice and the highlight was the friendly and helpful staff. The halls smelled strongly of cleaner and were hot, but the room was cool and comfortable. Plus i was on the 4th floor and didn't hear any noise from the restaurants and bars below. I was surprised that the free breakfast is gone since covid. Staff told me the breakfast room has been converted into another hotel room so it's clearly not coming back. For me, the great location was worth it but if you're looking for an included breakfast, look elsewhere.
