the gym had great equipment! staff responded quickly to requests, and they were always courteous. the breakfast buffet was much better than i thought it would be, there were many options.

I could hear people talking outside my room. The soundproofing wasn't great! our neighbors talked in the corridor, and i heard doors banging, it was not pleasent. the bed was small, almost a single, and the room was warm during the summer.
