an okay stay

spacious roomgood size pooloutdated bathroompersistent odor
the room i stayed in was spacious and comfortable. the pool was a good size for a swim, i liked that it was available to use.
the bathroom seemed somewhat outdated! the shower curtain, even when used properly, still allowed water to spray everywhere. the lack of proper ventilation caused a persistent odor.

Breakfast options suited my needs reasonably well.
The noise insulation was quite poor. I could hear conversations and other disturbances from adjacent rooms throughout the night. The gym equipment was somewhat dated. I found only one of the three treadmills fully functional. The bar service seemed understaffed during peak hours. Getting a drink took longer than I anticipated.
