Pros:

We were in an apartment - offsite to the main hotel.
The size of the apartment was very good but as we stayed only the one night didn't get to utilise the whole apartment.
Breakfast in the hotel was good with reasonable options.
Staff were very helpful with instructions and taking bags to rooms etc.
Very central to the main part of town and easily walking distance to most places of interest.

Cons:

Nothing really.
