Pros:

The room was perfect for me, 1-person. Would have been too close for 2.

Cons:

The breakfast didn't have enough options. I am a vegetarian who doesn't eggs, very limiting.

It was a pleasant hotel, but far from amazing.
Pros:

I liked the breakfast, the bathroom and the view.

Cons:

Not enough blankets provided for Winter, just a sheet and a thin Summer doona. We had to put the heater on 25 degrees all night and wear extra clothes because we were so cold. Difficult to start the brand new roll of toilet paper too, usually it gets started for you. This is the 1st hotel I've been to I've had to sit there and start the roll myself. No biggy but a bit annoying. Room was very small for $300 a night in off peak season. If I had of known how small the room was I would have gotten a bigger sized Motel room for $200
