Staff was excellent, bathroom floor was dirty, found eyelash extensions on the ground in the bathroom shower was dirty. “Clean” Towels had stains on them. Would maybe give it another try but not recommend it to a friend or family member.

The on site parking charges were crazy at $50 a night. We had to get moved from our original room within the first few hours due to the overwhelming smoke/weed smell. The new room had no odor, but the blinds had dirt splashes, im guessing from the recent rain, and the bathrub faucet had mold on it, so we were only able to use the shower. I would not stay here again unless major changes were made from the new management.

Just some room amenities are needed. 1. Provide floor mat in bath. 2. Provide enough coffee to match housekeeping schedule.

Hotel was perfect, and clean. Parking on site was valet only (a bit expensive), did not want to park offsite. Only thing was the toilet paper was a bit rough. Hotel was under construction, but didn’t affect my stay.

Front desk said it depended on third party to provide refund and turns out the hotel told Expedia they denied my refund. I was willing to pay for one night even though I was not staying there. The lobby looked like there was construction taking place. As soon as I got there, the rooms didn’t feel secure, they didn’t have latches on door in your room. They said because I had a room change they would charge me for the four night stay. I was only there for an hour and left. The curtains had holes and looked dirty and old like a motel. All you could hear was the freeway. Noise was loud even in the 16th floor. The ventilation in the room was poor like you couldn’t breathe. There’s only two elevators for the whole hotel and one was stuck on the 16th floor. Wouldn’t recommend and really unfortunate that they took my money and I didn’t even stay there long. Not accommodating and as a solo travel safety is my number one concern.

The staff here was great, and they even upgraded the room for me. Parking is easy and they have a valet out front. It’s right off the freeway, but still quiet, and it’s within walking distance to everything you’d want to see in Little Italy.
