8/10 Very Good! (1,099 reviews)

The room was nice and big but many things were in poor condition. The lamp base had rust on it, when I tried to open the fridge it came out of its nook. I asked housekeeping to clean my room when I left to go out and they didn't. It took 4 tries and one room change to get keys that actually opened the door. Also they were in the process of renovating.

Clean and good staff, very noisy area though. Lots of police and ambulance sirens. They lacked transparency with the deposit, online it said $57 for a two night stay and at the desk they request $200.
