Room was great- bedding was high quality and comfortable. Walk in shower, spacious bathroom was great. Towels were low quality- small, rough and quantity was low. Nice amenities with water, lots of coffee available, outdoor space, wine and chocolate. Parking was not available and it makes it difficult to recommend unless you don’t mind the hassle of finding parking. Next to on ramp to the interstate so it can get noisy.

The communication provided prior to check-in made my arrival and check in super easy. I was greeted upon arrival and offered a glass of wine. The room was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Located right in the heart of little Italy being spoilt for choice when it comes to good food, it was also super easy to get around without a car.

A nightmare trying to gain entry. As, no code was received, and after travelling for the best part of 17 hours, this was the last thing that I needed. Especially as it was getting dark. After spending about 15 minutes on the phone trying various methods of obtaining a code, I was eventually let in, and found a lady at a desk who said she was waiting for me. I was then able to provide her with my details. Self service check in, is not a good idea. Another negative, is that one needs three separate codes. One to access the court yard, another to enter the building, and a third to gain access to ones room. Please, please, simplify things. Furthermore, a colleague had an even worse experience than me, in obtaining access.

The no free parking was really inconvenient, it was nearly impossible to find anywhere to park. The room was okay, it’s very small so be mindful. Our remote didn’t work for the TV! It is right in downtown so very alive and super close walk to food and the ocean!

The lady at the service desk was very kind but the room was a mess. Bathroom door didn't close completely and no one ever came to fix it. Walls are pretty thin and I can hear everything outside my wall including card driving by

More of a Hostel Than a Hotel - Misleading!

This place is very misleadingly advertised as a hotel, but in reality, it’s more like a hostel—and not a great one at that. There’s no parking, and the nearby options they recommend are ridiculously expensive. Upon arrival, we didn’t get the entry codes and had to chase someone down just to access our room. When we finally got a response, the codes were wrong, and it took us about 45 minutes to even get inside. The “virtual” front desk was unresponsive and extremely difficult to deal with. On top of that, they tacked on about $100 in hidden fees after we booked. Some rooms don’t even have private bathrooms—you’re expected to use a shared, communal one, which was never disclosed beforehand. The shower had no door, the bathroom window had no curtain, and there’s no elevator—so prepare to haul your luggage up multiple sets of stairs. The “amenities” they charge you for are basically useless. To make it worse, the fridge had employee meals in it with handwritten notes saying “Don’t Touch.” Not exactly a welcoming touch. The walls are paper thin, so you’ll hear everything going on in the rooms around you. Between the lack of communication, surprise fees, misleading marketing, and uncomfortable setup, this was a really frustrating stay. I would not recommend it to anyone expecting an actual hotel experience.
