8.4/10 Very Good! (1,963 reviews)

I stayed in room 401 as it showed a nice deck. What it didn’t say is there is no elevator to the 4th floor so you have to be able to haul your luggage up a flight of stairs. It was also very noisy because the room is directly under the air compressor units. I kept thing people were moving furniture. Great location though.
