7.8/10 Good! (1,001 reviews)

The view is great. Property needs some cleaning in stairways. Room was clean and bed was comfy. Don't plan to sleep in as the noice from housekeeping cards and luggage is loud. Room was quiet at night. Breakfast selection is really limited. Staff was great. Hotel is on the corner of a busy intersection, not a quaint location.
