Pros:
Cons: I did not like daily having no towels and washcloths, everyday I had to call and then tip someone. I also thought it was ridiculous to call for a Diet Coke, I tried to purchase one downstairs, they would not sale it to me. After calling room service they came up with 2- 6 ounce bottles, no ice, then they had to get me ice because I could not get it by myself. Total for 2-6 ounce Diet Coke $20.00, then a tip, total $25.00. Ridiculous!
