Went for a couple days with my son. Property definitely DOES NOT look like the pictures on the website. Room was decent, toilet was very wobbly. Not to mention parking if first come first serve, if you don't get in early you have to pay for parking near by. Across the street in an empty lot homeless people have tents set-up, doesn't feel safe at all.

Multiple issue with the check-in process, hotel conditions and everything that was advertised did not match up with what we check-in to. I feel extremely uncomfortable with this stay but I cannot cancel the stay without a refund. So i am force to stay. Front desk absolutely was not understanding even though they saw how uncomfortable i am to stay here. Expedia was limited with what they can do to help me. I might as well be sleeping in my car tonight instead.

The front picture of the property is very misleading. This picture is not close to where this hotel is, or near Little Italy. Pros: Our room was pretty big but the tv was too small. Lobby guy was super nice. Cons: There is very limited parking spaces, which we ended up having to pay next door which sucked. The floors in the room were really dirty. No elevator

DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY. I am not someone who usually writes reviews, however my stay here was not enjoyable. The room was dirty with spiders, holes in the wall and furniture and dirt covered floors. The location is unsafe and nearby the freeway so there is constant road noise. The room looked nothing like the advertised pictures. Sheets had holes in them and there was only one light fleece blanket on the bed. Towels were thin, stained and slightly bigger than a hand towel in size. Everything was damaged and dirty from the shower curtain, towel racks, furniture, walls and doors. Parking was limited and difficult to access. Staff were unresponsive when Expedia reached out to address these concerns. You would be better off to stay just about anywhere other than this hotel.
