towel absence equipment maintenance
The breakfast was acceptable. It offered plenty of options, I thought.
The service was somewhat disappointing, I felt. I asked the front desk for extra towels, but they NEVER arrived. i also noticed that the gym equipment was not well maintained. A treadmill was out of order, and another one made A LOT of noise.
