"We especially liked the purple/pink bathroom light which could be left on so when visiting the bathroom during the night it wasn't necessary to put on the main bathroom light so sleep of the other guests in the room was undisturbed."

I noted some reports of housekeeping inconsistencies, but the accessible rooms and kid-friendly breakfast policies remain a distinct advantage.
