8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (3 reviews)
"I really have no complaint about LA CASA DELLE DEE. It was a first time experience to have self-check-in, not have a concierge and have everything work digitally. So it was interesting and scary but Mary was extremely helpful and patient. It's enough to put someone totally unfamiliar with the set-up at ease. There really is no complaint about the place as it comfortable and immaculate. My only difficulty was it had no elevator yet and the place is on the third floor. Not a problem if one...
