Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was near many of the museums and monuments.
Disliked: The use of an iPad to control lights and TV is very annoying. You have to wait for it to boot up before you can do anything. There is NO individual control of the lights in the room; they're all ON or all OFF. There is no channel guide for the TV.
