Overall the stay was fine. There wasn’t a phone to call the front desk within the room, so we did have to make stops down to the first floor, and unable to get ahold of the front desk by calling.

My bud and I stayed at Vantaggio for two nights, and it was perfect for our needs. The location is fantastic—just a short walk to bars and restaurants, which is exactly what we were looking for. The space itself is pretty no-frills and has a bit of a dorm-like vibe. It’s not luxury, but it’s great if you’re out and about all day and just need a place to crash.

Area of town felt unsafe as did the underground parking. Car from Mexico parked in my assigned spot, next assigned parking space also occupied girl at reception very friendly room felt like converted college dorm room. You get what you pay for, I guess.
