I booked for 2 nights, and stayed in 3 different rooms…. First room was leaking water through the ceiling @ 1:00am so I had to move rooms. Second room they moved me into, the AC wasn’t working and felt like a sauna in there. Third room was even crazier. The guy at the front desk gave us a room that was OCCUPIED by a staff member doing maintenance in there.. I walked in to his tools on the bed, a ladder up, and his computer open.. Then he moved me into the next room over, WHERE PEOPLE WERE SLEEPING IN… and then finally, gave me an open room. Mind you during all of this, I had all my bags & luggage in my hand. All happening during 1-3:00am. It was ridiculous. If you wanna get technical, I moved a total of 5 times in 2 days.. I didn’t even sleep in 1 room for 24hr. Wouldn’t recommend staying here and I for sure won’t be back. I DO RECOMMEND the Carté in Gaslamp district!

The building is an iconic high-rise near the freeway that used to be The Holiday Inn back in the day. They are really pushing it to say this is Littke Italy but if you dont mind walking a few blocks through a not-so-nice area then it is worth the less expensive price compared to the places right in Little Italy. A pint of beer is $9 plus tax and Smartwater is $4 so go shopping elsewhere. Staff are super. The shampoo & body wash are scented for nen, do...ladies bring your own. Freeway is loud so kerp the AC or fan on. Id stay here again of I got a good deal. Gym is ok, laundrymat is 15 minutes walknin Golden Hills.. a nice area.Breakfast is pathetic, overpriced. Lyft & Uber arrive quickly due to the accessible location. I can't emphasize how great the staff are, every single one. They all dererve a raise!
