It is an abuse that they do not have free parking for guests, they have 3 two on the first floor and one underground. the two on the first floor have them cancelled and on the other it is only valet parking and they charge you 45 dollars a night. the parking on the street is for a limited time and they give you an infringement, I asked the person who attended me if I could park on the street and told me no problem, they gave me 2 tickets.

Not worth the hype
I used to enjoy this hotel. However the last few trips have been extremely disappointing. The restaurant is NEVER open during listed business hours. They make you feel like you’re a inconvenience for even entering the restaurant. The “pool” is never open. They charged me $65 for a stained towel and charge a $250 deposit.

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.

8/10 Very good

It was a nice hotel in total, great area to go walking as long as you want to and eat of course. The only downside to my stay was the fact that you could hear people's beds in rooms around you, which was funny to hear but I haven't experienced that in the past at any hotel.

4/10 Fair

This hotel is underwhelming compared to a holiday inn at best. The room didn’t feel clean. They did not offer house keeping, and we had to request new towels. If i wasn’t in town for only two days i would have probably switched to a different hotel but as i wasn’t planning to spend too much time in the room i let it go. The floors were black and the ac unit in the room had mold/ dust galore

Quiet in comparison with India street. Still used earplugs, but not so much noise considering it’s right in town.
