8/10 Good
"The room was very clean, though some of the furniture was not in great shape. The setup in my particular room was a bit cramped and likely would have better suited a single bed. Great view looking out over City Hall. There was a bar with food options, but there wasn't usually anyone working there? Staff members were polite. My only real issue was that I called to request an early check-in, and the staff member on the phone confidently led me to believe that there would be a room ready for me at noon... I got a room just before 2:30. So do NOT trust that early check-in requests will be honored even if they tell you they will. Other than that, totally fine!"
