7/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
"The bed was comfortable and had a good night's sleep. The ice machine didn't work downstairs, had to get towels for the room by going to the front desk. Our feet were black after walking in our room. Pretty good hotel, just needs a real good deep clean. And better breakfast."
