CONS: - ants in bathroom - dust everywhere (check vanity lights) - peeling/chipping paint/wallpaper - DATED, not historical, decor - stained carpet room and hotel - not worth the expense and received no comp for the ANT issue - ants in bathroom even after having us stay out of room for the day so they could spray (2 nights, 3 days - over $1000 suite) PROS: * super staff!!!! * location fabulous - view unforgettable * quiet room * soft comfortable bed * temperature control great * lots of space (no mini fridge)
