9/10 Wonderful! (1,514 reviews)
This hotel is very nice. The rooms are large and the service staff is attentive. It is farther away from restaurants. Which means you'll have to order food and drinks from the hotel, which is can be pricey. If you'd like more food options at a reasonable price, stay at the IBIS.
