9.2/10 Wonderful! (480 reviews)
Room was not cleaned/ towels weren't replaced for the duration of our 3 night stay which I found rather peculiar. They also only provided 1 key for our room. I had believed it was common practice to provide 2. Other than that, the room was clean when we arrived, the bedding was comfortable, and the gym was lovely.

Minimum effort. Pleasant stay. Very quiet. Enjoyed the 8th floor common area. Service at the front desk was really great. Convenient coffee shop / bakery in the lobby.
