We chose this hotel for the location. It’s in the heart of Little Italy, close to the trolley and an easy Uber ride to the Zoo. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is run down, the rooms are small, the bathroom was tiny, black and had poor lighting. We chose the largest room and paid for the 2 queen beds just for the extra room. This room had 2 doors to a balcony that doesn’t get more than a cursory sweeping once in a while. The plaza across the street is fully lit up all night long. Because of that the pathetic shades over the full length windows in the doors do not keep any of the light out. The shades hang about an inch away from the door and barely cover the glass. The TV was only 32” on a large wall and lost connection every 5 minutes making it useless. There is no coffee maker in the room but they do provide coffee and tea in the lobby. The hotel has no parking and parking in that area runs about $30-$50 for 4 hours. The best we found was about 6 blocks away near the freeway, no security, for $30 for 10 hrs. The hotel has a beautiful jasmine plant in front that smelled amazing. Unfortunately a homeless man took up residence right there every evening. The hotel was an experience, love Little Italy but would never stay there again.
