Aright but won't come back.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

It was a king size suit but they join 2 king single beds together which made it uncomfortable in the middle of the bed and I was in second floor so the road sound. I was walked in twice by a cleaner with just my undies on. Yes they did knock on both occasion.
