Pros:

Comfy, good location, everything we needed.

Cons:

Would have given a great score but unfortunately there was a fire drill just as we were about to sleep and so we had to get dressed and come back out and it took a long time. Cant control these things I know, but it did dampen our stay. I feel we should have been offered something for the inconvenience.
