insufficient air conditioning old equipment
The breakfast had a good choice of fruit, eggs, toast, croissants, and cereals. The hotel bed was the most comfortable i have ever slept on..
The gym was quite disappointing. It lacked proper maintenance. Several machines were out of order. The equipment seemed old and not well cared for. The air conditioning was also insufficient.

immaculate housekeeping great selection
the room was clean. housekeeping kept everything immaculate and supplied everything we could need (the little touches are great!). breakfast in the red level was lovely. they have a la carte if you wish and a buffet if you prefer to choose your own.
i would have liked a complimentary bottle of water on the bedside at night.
