8.8/10 Excellent! (1,004 reviews)
We stayed in a room that felt a little dated, but the hotel’s strengths made up for it. The location is excellent — central, close to restaurants and other amenities, which made getting around very convenient. The staff were helpful throughout our stay, and we appreciated the parking discount offered by the hotel. Overall, a nice experience with good value and friendly service.
