Pros:

The bathroom was great and I was able to pamper myself for my little break away from everyone

Cons:

The curtains allowed anyone to see into my room even when closed. I was trying to sleep and the guest bellow me, a registered child sex offender was pounding on the floor, his roof, all night. So I didn't get much sleep. I was moved to this room last minute. So not happy at all. I may as well have not bothered because in the morning he then proceeded to scream abuse at me.
