Pros:

Clean, warm and good location

Cons:

Some of the items in the room could have been easily fixed but we're left giving it a "shoddy " feel i.e Curtain falling off rail as not attached to hooks, bath towel hook broken, shower gel pump broken, only one screw in toilet seat so keeps sliding off to the side
