4. Only real downside is the coffee they offer for breakfast is awful--must be using the cheapest, greenest beans to be found.

7. The downsides are comparatively few: window a/c units that aren`t as unobstrusive as a central system, windows that don`t fully open, and some aging and fading of furniture and fixtures.
