10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was around everything that it made everything walkable. Grand station is location right in front so that was convenient as well when we had to take it. The hotel was clean and spacious. They offer complimentary bag drop off if you arrive early or have a later flight so you can roam around the city freely "
