8.2/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
We just needed a place for the night so wasn’t wanting much; however, the app reviews were skewed. Bathrooms moldy. Nonsmoking room filled with smoke smell. Continental breakfast was bread/toast, yogurt, packaged donuts, or cereal. We went to a great breakfast place down the street.
