The pros and cons are very apparent. The hotel is very quiet, the air conditioning is very quiet.

It's midway up the hill to the mountaintop chapel, so the location is rather remote. You have to hike up and down if not taking a vehicle. It's best to have the hotel call a car ahead of time when going down the mountain. It's still manageable for younger folks.
