Staff was super friendly. Room not up to my standards for cleanliness, slow drain in the sink and just a trickle for water pressure in the shower. but I it wasn't enough to make me change rooms. No parking, had to pay a fortune at a pay lot because our minivan did not fit in the underground parking. So, there were issues. But the longer we stayed, the more I didn't notice so much. We were right in the heart of Little Italy and it was fantastic!
