Pros:

Room was bigger than we thought and great having a walkin shower instead of over the bath. Loved having the kitchenette also and plenty of space for clothes hanging with full length mirror.

Cons:

Wasn't much not to like. Maybe beds could have been more plush but they were pretty good for the value. Extra dining chair would have been helpful for eating in room.
