9.6/10 Exceptional! (65 reviews)

Hotel in very nice and super clean, you just can't expect to sleep there. Noisiest hotel on the planet! Wanted to love it , but the clubs and bars in the area attract a drunken crowd of disgusting and inappropriately loud partyiers. It is so loud, the room vibration is in synch with the rooftop club, and the pilice and drunks out front will keep you up past 2am closing. Never, ever, again! 2 stays, both the same!
