The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

The DEXTRO Little Italy, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean, no bugs, room included an ice container and items for coffee as well as the bible. Plenty of drawer space. Restroom had plenty of counter space to do makeup and the room itself had lots of plug ins. The room felt very safe and secure as you had to have certain keys to get to levels, etc… staff friendly and the counter had cold water to fill bottles and snacks for purchase. Wish they had a free breakfast but that’s ok I knew they didn’t going into my booking! 😊"
