Convenient and pleasant
Pros:

The locations was great. The lobby and free hot beverages and water available 24/7 were wonderful. We also enjoyed the bar after a long day of sight seeing.

Cons:

The rooms were quite small and no place to put your things in the bathroom. Also the shower head sprayed close to the wall no matter how you placed it instead of spraying in the middle of the shower.
