9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,868 reviews)

The room was actually missing the steamer, bathroom garbage can and jad a completely empty bottle of body wash in the shower on the day of my arrival. A call to the front desk did remedy that after awhile. Otherwise, the room was clean and the floor was very quiet. Front desk staff were friendly.
