Pros:

The room was ground floor which was great. It was a very busy weekend so the parking was an issue. The room itself was ok but needed a dresser style piece of furniture and a better mini fridge. The location was good - right across from The Island which made it easy to walk to.

Cons:

The lack of a dresser to put your clothes in and having no bench style seat in the shower. Mini fridge was pretty small.
