Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Neglected, very basic, will not stay in this hotel again. The windows were echoing rain noise in the room terribly. The loud noise of a faucet coming from another room during midnight was very annoying. The shower floor didn’t seem clean at all. There was no closet just a bar with hanger. Air conditioning unit box was broken, surprisingly it was very quiet and working well. The went plastic panel in the room was not fitted well, and you could see the stuff behind it. The plugs were worn out, bed was comfortable. Bathroom had a small window for ventilation to outside, and you have to open and close it, no fan in the bathroom.

Staff was super friendly. Room not up to my standards for cleanliness, slow drain in the sink and just a trickle for water pressure in the shower. but I it wasn't enough to make me change rooms. No parking, had to pay a fortune at a pay lot because our minivan did not fit in the underground parking. So, there were issues. But the longer we stayed, the more I didn't notice so much. We were right in the heart of Little Italy and it was fantastic!
