Pros:

Liked the size of the rooms and the comfortable bed and pillows. Also liked the Dove products provided.

Cons:

The treadmill in the fitness center made a lot of noise and seemed old. I wish there was higher quality plates and cutlery for breakfast. But these are not the most important factors to choose a hotel.
