9/10 Wonderful! (921 reviews)
The hotel was lovely, great location, very contemporary, great staff. We were on the 6the floor, there is a restaurant on floor 7 and a bar on floor 8. The live music coming from the bar could be heard until late. I could hear things being dropped on the floor above, rather noisy. It wasn’t real bad, but noticeable. The staff was helpful in getting taxis, recommending restaurants, and local places to see. They have a lounge and showers for people who have checked out and want to freshen up for the flight home. Nice touch. Overall, good place, I would stay again.

The bed was very comfortable!! The AC worked great. Few amenities like tissues but adequate room for our needs. Not much of a continental breakfast but ok for most people I'm sure. Expensive for what you get but still worth it to us.
