8/10 Very Good! (1,178 reviews)
The hotel itself is nice. Friendly front desk. Spacious, updated, but a little too heavy on the cleaning products as the smell was overwhelming in the hallway. However, the surrounding area is hit/miss. Not walkable, very congested, definitely need transportation to get around.
