7.6/10 Good! (761 reviews)
Breakfast is decent - the plates were gross (dirty) - it is the same every morning with the exception of the fruit and cakes options changing. You cannot sit in the balcony area to eat, Staff was attentive and kind. Buses and metro pick up area is nearby. There is a pharmacy nearby and a mini market that is nearby. Worst part was the shower - it flooded and got worse with our long stay. Another issue was the AC / it never really felt cold in the room. Elevator felt unsafe - besides being tiny it lagged.
