+ The presence of a fridge in the hotel room is a boon to budget travellers who like to bring their own food.
- There were some dust bunnies on the floor when we were done dragging the separate single beds next to eachother, and the floor looked dirty in general due to cracks and scratches, but if you're not squeamish about dust then it's OK.
