8.2/10 Very Good! (265 reviews)
"Awful stay, room key didn’t work, no one on the desk to help; ended up leaving to stay at the Holiday Inn. It’s the laziest hotel concept ever which falls short of any expectations; do not stay here, pay fractionally more & stay at a proper hotel, with staff & rooms you can access."
