1. Room had lovely nautical theme and was clean and roomy - only downside was no natural light but we had chosen an atrium room so no real complaints.

2. One downside was that this hotel is located next to a few bars, so when we came back from visiting the city, there were alot of loud, drunk college kids milling around outside.

9. The slight downside was the atrium room was a bit gloomy - the windows looked into the central trium, so low daylight levels and you couldn`t check the weather, but I think the reports of noise seem to mainly involve street view rooms, so perhaps that`s the compromise.
