9.2/10 Wonderful! (233 reviews)
Perfect location - just outside of the super touristy areas and close to a central metro location. Some reviews complain about the street noise, but compared to major metropolitan cities in the US, the street noise was minimal. If you want a central location, this place is great!

The room we stayed in was smaller than a NYC hotel room. There was almost no storage and the carpet was dirty. Furnishings were basic Ikea. The room was quite pricy especially given we were in the shoulder season. The rest of the hotel was clean. The pool was very small. The fitness center had decent equipment, but not a lot. The included breakfast was very good and the staff was wonderful. I would definitely going for a "superior room" albeit this is not a hotel where I think any room is a good value.
