8.8/10 Excellent! (55 reviews)
Excellent service, well-appointed room, & nice complimentary breakfast. Unfortunately, the walls/insulation are very thin-you could hear every toilet flush, steps overhead, doors closing & muffled conversation-not very restful.

I was very pleased when we arrived and there were several different types of coffee (the only thing I would suggest is to use the small liquid creamers instead of the packets of dry creamer). I liked that paper ...
