8.2/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
Room was good, clean but the office chair in the room was falling apart. Breakfast in the lobby was forgettable. I normally don't bother to rate the hotel breakfast because they are all forgettable. I only time i will bother with a breakfast review is if the hotel pairs with a restaurant within the hotel.
