slippery hazardpoor coffee
the shower design was a real issue. water leaked onto the floor. it was annoying to constantly mop up the mess after each shower. also , i found the in-room coffee options quite poor , with very limited choices for a caffeine fix.

Good City Stay

excellent locationfriendly staffdated equipment
The hotel's location allowed easy access to dining options. The staff demonstrated really good friendliness and attentiveness throughout my stay. I found the rooftop pool especially refreshing . It was perfect for a quick swim in the morning sun.
The gym equipment was dated. The machines seemed old and showed wear, potentially limiting workout options. It could benefit from some updates.
