8.2/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)
Hotel is fine for a short stay, the breakfast was poor, limited options, some food and drink ran out early. Coffee machine broken and long waits to get a drink. Hot food was dry and over held. Otherwise it’s fine for what it is. Long wait to check in and out and people complaining about mis charges to their room bill, this was not a problem for us on this stay.
