8/10 Very Good! (870 reviews)
"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was generally clean. They have either an air handling problem or they are using unusual cleaning chemicals. I sneezed and had streaming eyes for most of the time I was there. Also, there was no convenient way to charge a phone."
