8.6/10 Excellent! (1,497 reviews)
The hotel was great overall, and it has a central location and is walkable to most attractions. However, the front desk staff was okay. We had a good check-in, but any other questions that we had were dismissed. My mom asked if she could reheat some leftovers, and their response was, "This is a hotel," which was rude since I have stayed in many hotels that have common areas with microwaves.
