1. Only negative was room wasn't ready when we got there and they said they would call when ready, but didn't -- not a big negative but a text would have been nice.

2. There is a small list of negatives, however: the bathrooms are very tiny, the bathrobes were scratchy and seemed old, and most importantly, when I arrived back at 2am my room smelled like cigarettes.
