Eurostars Magnificent Mile
The room was smaller than expected based on the reviews. Considering the price, I was surprised there was no refrigerator or microwave. We also had to request basic items like toilet paper and Kleenex. The furniture showed visible wear. Overall, it did not meet my expectations. Staff was helpful
