prime location rooftop pool breakfast buffet dated room small bathroom uncooled gym
The location was prime, it made seeing key sites straightforward. the rooftop pool provided a relaxing break, and the views were really something. i found the breakfast buffet excellent. Such variety and freshness.
The room felt a bit dated. Some aspects could use updating. i was surprised by the small size of the bathroom. It felt cramped. the gym was not adequately cooled, and it hindered my workout.

a little underwhelming considering the price

unfilled minibar poor insulation
I found a couple of issues . first, the mini fridge wasn't refilled, despite me using up the snacks and drinks by the second day. i called the front desk, but they didn't really seem to care, a girl came up, said there was one coffee left, and promised a refill later that evening, it never happened. also, the noise from outside was louder than i liked. The windows really need better insulation.
