Ok.
Pros:

Room was comfortable. No problem.

Cons:

I really did not like that there is 24/7 room service offered, but when you want to make use of it it is not available? I travelled internationally, came in late, wanted a late dinner or something to eat, just to be told that the service is not available? I had to go to bed hungry! Not ok!
