Horrible, Noisy
Pros:

Horrible experience. Walls are like paper thin and if there is a conjoining door to another room, forget it! Our last night ended with having to get the police involved to remove our neighbor which was having a whole party, drinking, falling down, cussing, etc. It was well after midnight before the issue was resolved. Then our card was billed twice, no discount or compensation for the horrendous night we endured. Will never stay here again.
