    Boutique hotel in an ideal location in Little Italy.

    Location

    The fact that rooms are not cleaned during stay.

    I've been staying at La Pensione for years. If you want to explore Little Italy, this location is amazing. It has a cute European vibe, with Italian café adjacent the lobby.

    Room size varies. Our original room was quite compact- and the fan/light in the bathroom was malfunctioning. It randomly turned itself on, fan blaring in the middle of the night. Management graciously moved us to another room and we happily enjoyed the rest of our stay there.

    Okay overall stay

    Great location, accessible to lots of restaurants, and the trolley. The bed was comfy and the room seemed clean.

    The room was lot smaller than expected and it seemed dated. The carpet was lefting in the entrance to the bathroom. And I definitely checked for bed bugs because you know, I don't want any visitors coming home with me.
