Central and comfortable
Pros:

The room was very modern and the beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

The only things I could mention was the noise from the renovations going on (which was to be expected), and the shower drain was very slow to take the water away, so it backed up a bit (maybe a byproduct of the renovations).
