Stayed two nights, check in process was simple, stuff was professional, rooms need some updating, bathroom was dirty, stains on the wall, AC was old and loud, could not sleep how loud it was, hotel in general needs some updating. Chairs on the balcony were broken. Coffee machine inside room was cheap. Wallet parking is expensive, $45 per day. Location is nice, Little Italy area with a lot of restaurants near by. For the price, it should have been better.
