Pros (+) Everyone is friendly. Was not worried or paranoid rooming with so many strangers.
Cons (-) Since bathrooms are shared, the hotel should be cleaning them more frequently. People go in and out and not everyone is a clean person. I had to clean the counters because everything was wet and there was no place to set my things. There was water all over the floor and need to be careful how you walk.
