10. Cons: we should have asked for a fan for some white noise, we found that you can hear hallway noise (especially doors shutting); limited digital cable options, other than the major networks and ESPN, all other channels are in analog; hair dryer in the room didn't have a ton of power and it took longer to dry my hair.
