poor gym broken elevators
I was annoyed. the gym was a joke. It barely had any equipment. the 'sea view' from my room was mostly a view of the parking lot. This was not acceptable. i expected much more considering the price. there were also persistent issues with the elevators. They were frequently out of service, it was really inconvenient. the staff didn't seem to care.
