8.2/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)

The door lock hatch was loose. The bathroom drain was clogged and drained slow so it made taking a shower feel like sitting in a tub of water. I attempted to call the front desk but no one answered and I didn't want to go back downstairs. At check out I wasn't asked how my stay was, just told thank you.
