Nice stay. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful
Pros:

No where to park to load. Basically on street with emergency flashers on. Paid parking is too far to walk with your luggage and personal items.

Cons:

Accidentally fill out my top question in the wrong box.

Pros:

The location is in Little Italy and close to all of the restaurants and close to the freeways.

Cons:

The location is great, but parking, not so much. I found out after I arrived, my large SUV would not fit in their parking area so I had to find street parking. The room was quite small and very worn out. The fridge had been leaking, so there was water on the ground.

Pros:

The location is the main advantage of the place - it is right in the center of Little Italy with all the bars, restaurants and farmer's market around.
There is no space to serve a proper breakfast but the hotel is doing their best with serving yoghurt, cheese, pastries, fruit, juice and tea/coffee that you can take on a tray to your room - was more than enough for us to start our day.

Cons:

The room was tiny, we could barely move around with two people, even though we didn't have big luggage. It is ok for a very short stay but would be annoying for longer stays.
