9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,004 reviews)
Clean room, close to public transportation, beautiful views. Breakfast was good. Restaurant was closed for a private event (no prior notice given) when we arrived, which was disappointing as we’d had a long travel day and just wanted to get dinner and some rest. The front desk person that first evening wasn’t especially helpful. Quiet location. Decent stay overall.
