9.8/10 Exceptional! (103 reviews)

The room was very nice. I was on the top floor, the 4th, and was not able to see the street because of a facade in front of the windows. But, there was good light with a rooftop and sky view. Staff is pleasant and very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the location was very good for getting to lots of attractions.
