Pros:

The location and the hotel was perfect!

Cons:

In the restaurant, we had a reservation and arrived to 2 other tables there besides us and they plopped us right up against another table with a guy sneezing and coughing all over. Common sense would be to keep some distance as the place was empty. It made for a bad meal.
