Very enjoyable, comfortable and central.
Pros:

Room was very clean, comfortable and cool. Location of the Cav was central and easy walking distance to plenty of places around town. Very relaxed and easy atmosphere - loved the live music.

Cons:

Room was a bit dark, although I understand that is somewhat necessary to keep the rooms cool. There was a bit of noise coming from outside our window from all the air conditioners - again, somewhat understandable and didn't disturb sleep.
