metro stationgym equipmentlimited breakfastsmall room
The location was good. it was close to the metro station and made traveling easy, though it was a little walk. the gym had a good selection of equipment. I used the treadmill and the weight machines.
The breakfast options were limited for me. I wanted more variety each morning. the room felt a bit small. Maneuvering with luggage was difficult, even as a solo traveler.
