8/10 Good
"The construction in and around the property was a bit cumbersome to navigate and avoid, but when it is done it will lift the overall outer appearance. The staff that I dealt with at check-in, restaurant and the housekeepers were all very friendly, courteous and made my short stay very nice. Hotel was clean, both in common areas and my room. Room was comfortable and well-appointed."
