The location of this hotel is awesome! You are in the heart of Little Italy. One thing I did not like was that for the price of this hotel there is no parking. You need to find a meter parking on the street and carry your luggage to the hotel. Aside from the parking everything was good!

The rooms are TINY. Fine if you’re traveling alone but not enough for two or more. Room has a mini-fridge, but no microwave, so it’s kinda pointless. The rooms are mostly clean but the dressers could be replaced/updated. My room had spiders and termites, so keep an eye out. Also, the parking situation is unacceptable. $35 a DAY but no guaranteed parking in their extremely cramped underground lot. They warn you when you get there that your car needs to be compact, but every car down there was an SUV and it was impossible to move safely. The space is way too small to turn your car around if there are no spaces to park. You might literally have to back up and then back your way up the hill back onto the street. It’s that small! Shouldn’t even be allowed. Also they do NOTHING about the homeless people sleeping out the front of the building. Great location overall, but overpriced for the rooms/amenities

Fix the Experience in all the rooms as they are wildly different. Consider more light and noise mitigation. The Air-conditioning is ineffective and inefficient. One room cold and never was a level temp, the other one was an oven. Had to borrow the fan from the “office.”
