8/10 Good
"Great location! 30 min walk to each of my 3 destinations for this trip. Nice bakeries & restaurants in the area. Nice clean room. Ceiling looked like it was in the middle of some repair; industrial look? Weird bit was power was glitchy for a few hours. No elevator, wi-fi, restaurants, beeping alarm going off. One trip up the stairs & one down stairs made me rethink my 7th floor room. No compensation offered and minimal services offered so I went out & stayed away for 6 hours. Fixed when I returned. Prob will come back due to location & good price. Will call first for power grid info."
