Pros:

The views were beautiful, room was nice and clean

Cons:

The shower was terrible, everytime the shower was turned on, it flooded the bathroom floor. It didn’t matter what position the shower head was in it created a huge pool of water all over the bathroom floor. The bathroom was also extremely small, the banged into the toilet when it opened.
