A wonderful stay
Pros:

Everything. from the friendly guards as you enter, to the warm welcome at reception. the rooms are exceptional and anything you need is one call away. the best room service experience, with some of the tastiest meals.

Cons:

not so much a dislike, but maybe a nice to have, would be a microwave in the room. but knowing how helpful the staff are at Bon, i am sure someone would gladly to assist if i asked. just a headsup, it is next to a lounge that does have events on weekends, so sometimes loud music can be heard.
