8/10 Good
"Overall my stay was very good. When I found water dripping from the bathroom ceiling, the staff moved me to another room that was just as nice. The only other issue I had was that the AC made a noise that I wouldn't have been able to sleep through, so I wasnt able to run the AC at night. The beds were comfortable, the view excellent, the staff friendly, and the hotel restaurant had good food. I would definitely stay there again."
