Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It felt kind of like a hidden gem, 10 min walk to little Italy. 1 MINUTE walk to Blue Bottle Coffee. Chipotle for an easier option across the street. The parking is 24 hours and 39$ a day for hotel guests. The lobby is super clean and the rooms are cozy and has cool city street view (there was construction but it is Downtown we didn't mind it was cool still)
