Old but useable
The hotel is older and all room amenities work but need renovating. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our stay was good overall. It was very close to Little Italy and that was a plus. Neighborhood is near homeless people so don't wander off in the wrong direction.

A good property, but the garage was a nightmare to exit. Because the exit was so difficult to navigate we try to limit how much we took out our car which then limited how much we could do :(

If your vehicle doesn’t fit in the 6’8” parking structure for $40 per night, then there is only street parking if you are lucky enough to find it in this very busy downtown area.

This is a good property to stay at. The only problem is hotel parking should be free because the parking structure access is so narrow and it is hard to get out.
