Quiet location, a bit of breakfast
Pros:

It is in a nice and quiet location away from the nightlife but still within walking distance to it (or you could walk two blocks to get to the streetcar stop). Rooms are decently decorated with traditional-looking furniture. There is a small breakfast (oatmeal and fruit and granola bars, but no pancake maker or hot options).

Cons:

Not much. There're some furniture they could replace if they wanted, but given the price I wouldn't expect it.
