8/10 Very Good! (1,884 reviews)
"Great location by Tines Square and Broadway. Good places to eat and drink. Rooms are nice but small, real small. Bathroom has a sliding door that barely covers doorway so no privacy. Could hear everything on street despite being on 17th floor. Expected a little better for the money."
