10/10 Excellent
"Loved the location, the room, the lobby, the staff. We were so close to everything we wanted to see & check-in and out was smooth. the building is beautiful & so is the lobby! Only downfall, we didn’t love the included breakfast. Most hot food items were cold when we got there, so if you really want breakfast I suggest you go early. Also, my hair dryer died while I was using it on the last day. But other than that, absolutely loved it and would stay again!"
