The gym included quality equipment. I counted three treadmills there and also two stationary bikes. The room had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. Housekeeping provided service daily, and they kept the room clean.
It was slightly inconvenient.

Decent Stay, Some Disappointments

small roomnoticeable noise
I was somewhat disappointed with my room. It was quite small and the street noise was noticeable, especially at night, difficult to sleep soundly. the promised complimentary water was missing. I had to call housekeeping to get some, it was inconvenient. I did not appreciate this lapse in service!
