8/10 Very Good! (2,964 reviews)
"Waiting in line. Be prepared to wait in line a lot if you stay here. Long lines for the elevator, to check in and for luggage storage. This isn’t just a peak time thing, it’s all the time. Also, no hand soap supplied by the hotel is weird and exceedingly meagre for the rate this place charges."
