Great location! You get what you pay for. If you are planning to hang out in the room, maybe splurge for something more private, but if you are like us, it was nice. We slept there and spent our day out and about. Cats were not an issue (I have allergies but whatever air filter there is works well) though one did come visit at some point. Be ready to share the bathroom with four other rooms. However you can meet really nice people.
