10/10 Excellent
"This was a wonderful place!! It was a perfect location to sightsee during the day and then go out in the evenings. You are close to everything or to public transportation to get there Staff was also friendly and helpful with any questions. I loved the extra touches, like the ear plugs by your bed and the tea selections.It was also great to be able to leave our luggage securely while we explored the city more after checkout, and before our flight . I would definitely stay again and recommend. I only rated a tad down in cleanliness cause we had one dirty pillowcase at check in but was able to get a fresh one so no biggy. And rest of bed was clean and comfy. Pillows are the euro pillow which were more square and slept well with them . Also liked the room design and shower placement. Really enjoyed our stay!"
