8.8/10 Excellent! (305 reviews)

We enjoyed our stay! The room had a great view, was very clean and serviced every day. It is located conveniently for commuters as it is connected to the subway station. However, the elevators can get quite packed and take long during peak times.The staff was very friendly as well. Would stay here again!
