The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

6/10 Okay
"I feel like the dextro is trying to be several things that it is emphatically not. it’s not a slick, hip modern stay. it’s not an elegant niche inn. it would be a better experience if the management acknowledged what it actually is, which is a casual but aging property with some limitations. our city-view room overlooked the busy freeway. the room could have been cleaner. it wasn’t dirty, but it wasn’t immaculate. the shower was tired and so close to the toilet that exiting was perilous. overall, it wasn’t the stay we expected and parking was very expensive.
