8.6/10 Excellent! (955 reviews)

The room was not tidied daily. We stayed for four. days, the room we were in needs to be updated to feel fresh. The staff was superb, especially Alex at the front desk. She was always friendly and very accommodating. I think she will go far with this chain. I will still stay here again. I'm planning to return this summer,
