It’s under renovation. A lot of the hotel amenities are closed. We were hoping to spend the weekend in the pool. But unfortunately it was closed.
The service was great. There was many dining options just in walking distance and like how they had flea market across from the hotel.

This stay was alright, walkable distance to Little Italy. The room was clean but the shower needs to be replaced. They are currently under construction so no gym and bar. They offered us discounts on places around.
What we did not like was when we needed a new toilet paper roll, we opened up a new one and it was soaked with dirt water which made it unusable.
Last part, we left our drinks within the fridge after check out. The front desk was kind enough to let us go retrieve them but when we entered our room (the maid was already in there because the beds were stripped) they were missing. We asked both cleaners that were on the floor and they both claimed they didn’t touch the room. So someone got lucky with our alcohol thinking we wouldn’t come back for them. Wouldn’t stay here again because of that experience.
The location was convenient, but I did not know it was going to be under construction during my stay. I mostly booked the room because of the hot tub and pool on the roof and the whole area was closed due to construction. I wanted to sleep in and wasn’t able to as hammering started around 8 am. I understand construction is necessary, but the hotel price ($200) was the same as others that were nicer and not under construction. If I had known beforehand I would have brought this up and if the price was non negotiable I would have gone elsewhere.
Close and walking distance to restaurants, bars, and the bay.

None of the amenities listed were available (pool, fitness center) because everything was under construction. This was not disclosed before we got to the property. I chose this place because a pool was advertised and we did not get a pool. Also, there was loud drilling starting at 9am for 2 of the 4 mornings we were there.
