Cons:

The room did not look like photos. The room had a very low quality finish compared to the photos
The shower head was in between the sink and toilet. We ended up not even using the shower as it was such a bad set up.
Overall disappointed with our stay

Great location, beautiful view from the room
Pros:

We were very lucky that the staff allowed us to change to a room with a balcony and a view. That really made the whole stay a lot better. We did not eat breakfast there as there are many cool places in The Lanes we wanted to try.
