8/10 Very Good! (9,950 reviews)
The place is clean. But it’s definitely a different vibe than the pictures. Staff wasn’t rude but didn’t go out of their way to help me or anything. Stayed on my own and had to park car and bring luggage around by myself. And then had the security guard joke that the buckingham wing my room was in ...

Just know this is not a service oriented hotel experience. No doorman, uniformed person at desk, room or maid service ...
