Wasted money one one no show night.
Cons:

Booking did not allow me to change my reservation, so I ended up paying for one night I did not use.

Pleasant
Pros:

Location for my travel objective. The convention center, CMU, and CMU7s facility like Mueseums. Given room is more than enough in space for a solo traveller. Security is well organized with the room key card. A few minutes walk to the Market Square area, and ~ten min to the Convention Center.

Cons:

The wash basin supplies water only, no heated water. This may be inconvenien to ladies for their toilet works.

The hotel was close to all the court buildings so I was pleased that I could walk everywhere.
Pros:

The staff at the check-in and the entire time I was there were extremely helpful.

Cons:

Booking.com listed that the parking was included which is not the case.
Booking.com listed that breakfast was included but failed to mention that there is a cost involved.
