9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,261 reviews)
Clean room, friendly staff, and amazing morning breakfast. Would definitely recommend for a night or two. Only downside is if you’re a light sleeper you will hear most movement of other guests.

Room was fine. Light was out in the bathroom and some minor litter was near the garbage can when I took the room.
