poor insulation dated equipment
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.
