7. Only downsides were the usual USA thing about the fridge being sensored - (that is take a Coke out of the fridge and it goes straight onto your bill) - so there was nowhere to store your own drinks (ice and buckets were available); there was no guest laundry - had to use a laundromat several streets away (often a problem on a long holiday.
