Pros (+) Comfy beds. Spacious room and bathroom. If you option out of turn down service, you get a 5$ voucher to use in the bar. Awesome way to incorporate staying "green."
Cons (-) The shower could've used a keener eye during cleaning. But wasn't all too bad. The only issue I had was you could hear not only when a neighbor shut their door, but also the neighboring rooms when theit window blinds are open or shut.
