8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)
Lovely spot that was very close to where I needed to be so could walk. Rooms were clean with a full kitchen. Comfortable beds, nice A/C, great fitness room. It's more of a "motel" so people are walking by your room so curtains can't be opened unless you want everybody to see in.
