the buffet dinner had varied options and tasted good. the staff were pleasant and attentive to requests. the breakfast had a wide selection with options for waffles and smoothies. i liked the grounds surrounding the buildings.
the room temperature was difficult to control. it was hard to regulate the heat and i felt uncomfortably warm at times. the hallway lighting was automatic and it sometimes turned off. the gym was located in a separate building and felt a bit dated.
