Pros:

The room service menu was really good price point for the items available and my selection was hot when I picked it up at the service desk

Cons:

Need a better selection of eggs at breakfast ! That scrambled rubbish every day was the only bad breakfast item in my Opinion.
Parking was a bit expensive and should be free for one parking space per booking.
