Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) The cafe restaurant play Music all the time too loud. Avoid courtyard rooms.
Cons (-) No warning that there were extensive renovations going on - right over the room we were in. Not acceptable!! Top dollar for a construction zone - not acceptable!! Could not stay and had to find another last minute hotel. Will NEVER STAY THERE!!!
