8.2/10 Very Good! (5,121 reviews)
Was only there for one night but from the moment I arrived at 12:30p I asked for kicks and giggles if I can check in earlier and I'd pay the difference. A room was made available to me within minutes. It was an upcharge of $15 but given the exhaustion I had I did not mind. Room was spacious clean and the bed was huge. Bathroom was spa like looking and very clean. I will definitely be repeating the stays!!
