(562 reviews) The room was clean when we came in, it was close to a lot of the things I wanted to do. It would be five but there were minor issues. The cleaning people came in when we had the “do not disturb” on the door which is appreciated that they came in but we didn’t need it, also the mechanism to open the doors were super outdated, the keys lost the magnetization so I couldn’t open my door like twice. However I would stay again due to the convenience of being close to good places.
