Cons. Location is great and staff is nice. But there were two things that I found that were deal breakers and why I would not recommend this hot. #1 was termite feces falling from the cieling everyday covering furniture. It was pretty gross. #2 was in the middle of the night hearing other hotel guests drinking and chatting loudly outside the rooms at 3-4am during weekday. This happened both nights we were staying there around the same time. Other than those two things it was ok.
