8.2/10 Very Good! (2,854 reviews)
There wasn't any coffee machine, or refrigerator or even cups in the room. However, they did have water bottles for $8 each. The fitness center was great! The staff was great! Maybe that was why I was surprised at the lack of convenience items - though I don't know that I've ever been in a room without one.
