8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
I waited 10 minutes in the lobby before any staff showed up to check me in. Staff wasn’t really friendly upon checking in either. I felt like I was interrupting whatever they were doing. Room was good. At breakfast the next day there wasn’t any clean table to sit at so I cleaned a table off myself.
