8.2/10 Very Good! (1,286 reviews)

Definitely wasn’t as clean as I would have liked. The floor we stayed on smelled of mildew and the bathroom was dirty. The ladies checking us in were very nice and accommodating throughout our stay. It was a great area to stay, close to everything I was there for.
