Other than the few things I mentioned, everything else was perfect and we were very happy.
Pros:

The bathroom is big and clean.

Cons:

One side of the bed is positioned against the wall, making it slightly inconvenient for one person to get in and out. Additionally, there was no remote control provided for the air conditioner.
