this place is for young creatives, professionals, families and laid back folks looking to explore. Close to everything, clean and creative. the staff is incredible and the owner does his best, I would say this is a hidden diamond in the rough. I saw some folks complaining at the hotel and on airbnb and I was worried it wouldbe awful but it's a basic boutique hotel in a great location and if you're looking for a "Italian touristic hotel" this isn't the place. laid backrooftop, other cool guests. The Japanese place next door has a good happyhour and there's great tacos at Taqueria Tijuana near by. 15 minute walk to the civic area and close to the marina boardwalk. All the Italian food, bakeries and happy hours you can want too! Will be back!
