9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,002 reviews)
Everything about the stay was great. Staff in their Steam restaurant at the bar were fantastic. Great service, even during an accidental fire alarm. Breakfast was solid, the cook was terrific. Only complain was the pillows. Not joking, they were way too fluffy, super annoying.
