10/10 Excellent
"Room was fairly spacious and kept clean. I reserved the large suite almost 400sq ft, but due to strange lay out, did not feel stated size. Love the espresso coffee machine in the lobby and also Nespresso machine in the room. Overall was very comfortable stay and excellent/friendly service. "
