Pros:

The staff was amazing! Really friendly and helpful. We where there with about 80 school kids, plus some other school groups, and the staff handled it so professional, calm and friendly!!

Cons:

Our bathroom door couldn't close - seemed like the door was recently painted and now too thick to fit in the frame.
Pillows where to flat.
