Room and bed were a little small but for 2 nights, it was manageable. Everything was clean and modern. Staff were friendly and always helpful. So many places to walk too, coffee, brunch, dinner options and bars of course. Parking was a first come first serve and we got lucky to be able to get parking for 2 nights. But if we wouldn’t have, it definitely would’ve been a hassle, street parking is a mess. Would stay here again.

La Dolce Vita

This darling little hotel in the heart of Little Italy made me think I really was in Italy. The room was small, but efficient. The bathroom was updated with a nice stone tiled shower. The linens were soft and the pillows were comfortable. There is a sweet little outdoor courtyard adjacent to the lobby and the Italian coffee shop. This stay was a win.

Excellent location. Walk outside anytime of day or night, it was lively and active. Restaurants and bars all close by. The farmers market on Sunday just outside the hotel was awesome. It was 6 blocks of unique items, awesome foods, and good strong coffees. Staff at the hotel seemed a little stand offish. Not offering very much in the way of hospitality. I guess they just let the hotel speak for itself. There is no bottled water in the rooms. There is no housekeeping unless you ask for it. No amenities really, just a place to sleep, and shower. But, everything was clean and comfortable.

Pros: Front desk staff was very helpful, front of the hotel was charming with aromatic flowers , and bathroom was nice and updated. Cons: Hotel parking was not conducive to SUVs, hotel room was much smaller than expected, and the fire alarm went off on our whole floor and the staff was unaware until we called the front desk.
