8/10 Good
"The woman at the front desk was awesome. You can tell she really cares about the guest experience. The room was lovely. The breakfast was as expected if not a little better than some that are similar. The elevator is a bit sketchy. It works fine, but needs and update and it makes some strange sounds. All said, for the price, I'd stay again."
