Good for bongs not sleep.
Pros:

Good location and allowed for late check in.

Cons:

Had the worst night sleep because other guests were out in the hallway drinking, smoking, singing and laughing until 5am. There were no reception staff to contact and no one to tell them off. What is the point of paying for a room to sleep if you can’t sleep? Hard to enjoy much else at that point.
