9/10 Wonderful! (2 reviews)
The property is great and very clean, the location is perfect and walking distance from the best restaurants. The only negative was that I paid for breakfast for 2 guests and showed them my Expedia reservation saying I paid for breakfast for 2, but the hotel worker did not honor the breakfast reservation and charged me again.
