the bedroom was lovely and large. the beds were super comfortable, i slept well. the gym was also large and spacious, i got a good workout.
The tv remote never worked. the staff came to fix it, but the problem was with the tv itself. none of the usb-a slots in the room were functional, they were decorative. the soundproofing was practically nonexistent. I could hear the neighbors next door.
