Pros:

I've stayed here before, and I find the front desk staff to be very pleasant as well as the housekeepers.

Cons:

The smell of old curry in the hallway was hard to overcome. Fresh curry smells fine, but I believe my neighbors cooked the entire time. I was there. It was so strong that the minute I opened my door to leave the room. It overpowered my nose. I realize you can't necessarily determine who cooks what. However it was off putting.
