Hotel was extremely clean and well kept. Front desk staff at check in were great. The restaurant had fabulous food, but I didn’t get the 15 percent discount I was told I would get as a guest. The room was very clean. The water pressure is awesome. I’ve stayed when it was 21C and enjoyed my stay as Hotel 55. Bonus that Trader Joe’s is across the street and Eataly just a block away.
