8.6/10 Excellent! (6,132 reviews)

Loved the location, very walkable to Pier/Wharf areas, close to tour meeting spots and public transportation. Breakfast options were good including gluten free toast and muffin when inquired to staff. Room was nicely quiet, clean and comfortable. Staff were accommodating, able to securely store luggage after check out until departing for next destination. Would return again.
