Donatello

Great location. You can easily walk places or take a quick ride on public transportation to get places. The amenities create a serene experience. The hot tub, sauna and cold eucalyptus towels offered relief to my tired legs after a full day of walking around! The staff offered lots of information and tips on where to go and how to get around. Very lovely!

My family and I came here for a couple nights for the 4th of July. Parking at the hotel is very expensive, $57 a night. We know someone who lives in the area so we were able to leave our car with them. Upon check in, everyone was nice and got us checked in. We were asked if we needed help with our luggage but we didn’t have much. I like how the staff seem to always acknowledge me when I came down the elevator. They would smile, say hi, open the door. The room was large and the AC unit worked well. We were able to use the sauna and hot tub the first night and that was very nice. The hot tub is pretty small, luckily we had it all to ourselves. Leaving the hotel you really don’t need a car, everything is within walking distance. There is a good breakfast place right down the street. After the fireworks we had to walk back to the hotel late at night because Waymo and uber was not available. The area around the hotel at night can be pretty dangerous. We encountered people doing drugs on the street. Someone also followed us for a while and when he got close to me I moved to the side and watched him. I have no idea what he was trying to do, maybe snatch my purse. We let him go ahead then he stopped and waited for us to get ahead and followed us again. We kept looking at him so he left eventually. When we finally got to the hotel there was a staff that opened the door for us which was nice because it was almost midnight. I felt safer knowing someone was watching the door at night.
