1. The free morning breakfast had tons of options; the only downside was that on a weekend morning, jockeying for tables and toast was actually getting a little contentious.

3. The downside is that the back of hotel is only 10 yards away from the hotel next door, so there is no view at all.

4. The only real downside was a lack of changing facilities and there only being one shower (all this is shared with the fitness room next door) so there was a wait and a quick change before heading back to the room.
