7.2/10 Good! (1,003 reviews)
The staff were very helpful with our every requests and friendly towards everyone. The location is very ideal for walking and getting rides is easy , as well. I just would like to suggest to have at least one microwave we could use in the hotel and at least some scrambled eggs for breakfast. Otherwise, I would highly likely book in this hotel again.
