9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,572 reviews)
The coffee service inside my junior suite was laughable. That’s not a cup of coffee. The espresso machine is fine as a 2nd option, but having a large mug of coffee is what most travelers want. I had to call for multiple refill pods, and even then they brought me the decaf pods.

It's a you get what you pay for. I got a good deal, but the room could've used a paint job. I mean, I hope my room was on a list for remodel. The Kuerig machine didn't work, but they were quick to replace it. No microwave. Nice, comfy bed. Parking on-site. 3 out of 4 that I needed.
