Pros:

easy check in, and that they changed our room without any issue, when the first room we got smelt like someone had just cooked in the room.

Cons:

the mix crowd we saw at the breakfast room, seemed like a backpackers or being at a community housing solution. Feels like some of the people at the hotel live there. seemed as a housing solution for retirees
