8.4/10 Very Good! (185 reviews)
Was there for one night only. For that the experience was good. Had to wait for over 2 hours to get dinner, the hotel kitchen was full. No options to dine out on a Sunday night either so had to bear the long wait. Plenty of amenities and spacious and comfortable room.
