Cons:

This place was more disappointing then last time. I forgot they knock on and open your door at 10am. Working overnight leaves little time to sleep until checkout sometimes then they knock on your door at 10 like clock work each time I've stayed. I definitely won't be back. I wish I would have remembered it before booking again.
