8.4/10 Very Good! (1,065 reviews)

This place is great! I enjoyed my stay there I would give it 5 starts but one night around 11 pm the fire alarm went on 3 times and people started to evacuate and each time we were told it was a false alarm. Although this was unintentional, it was disturbing experience specially at a time that late as it was not just one, but 3 times over a span of an hour.
