5/5 Excellent
Great hotel!
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Eurostars Hotel. The customer service is superb and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Our room was great, however something must have been off with the ventilation/hvac system system because our room was humid and hot. Overall a great experience and located in walking distance to so much! "
