Large comfortable rooms
Pros:

Lovely large clean rooms. Great AC and good service. The attached restaurant is pretty good and the breakfast was very reasonably priced

Cons:

The bathrooms. There are 3 separate zones which end up being all a bit too narrow and small. Would have preferred a single large bathroom to this. The beds were very soft.
