Pros:

Easy access

Cons:

Old, very hot, not air conditioning even they knew about the very hot period of time, were over 30 degrees in the room, the window was not option to be opened more than 5-10 cm (due to security) but people can die inside of heat, that is very secure...., no option to swap the room even if requested.
