Everything was excellent with the area the service. And even with complimentary coffee and special coffee’s like Mocha and Latte. The pool and hot top was nice too and open late which it’s a big plus. The one thing I didn’t like was the shampoo, conditioner & body were not good at all. We had to buy our own cuz neither was with using. That will be my only issue they would need to improve.

Pleasantly surprised. Room was nice and up to date. Even had both USB-C and USB-A ports in each nightstand and the desk. Room was clean and well equipped. Amenities are negligible Small pool tightly surrounded by rooms, extremely small fitness room, no breakfast. But if you want a well equipped room walkable to all of Little Italy and other downtown areas, it's a great room for the price.
