9.2/10 Wonderful! (733 reviews)

Great location, good-sized rooms, pretty clean, comfortable bed. The bathroom was pretty big, but there are no counters; the sink is very small, and there's no space for my makeup or facial products. The area has many restaurant choices, within walking distance of shopping centers.
