8/10 Good
"So we wanted a hotel with a pool that’s why we chose this hotel. Of course we checked in and were told that the pool was closed for adding chemicals!😖 We also hoped there would be free coffee in the morning but no…The restaurant sells coffee if you want to pay for it. Yes the hotel is nice and clean and quiet but paying that much you would think that it could give you a free coffee in the morning 😣. we went to a concert @ the Garden & walked about 20 minutes to get there."
