bad gymconfused staff
the gym was really bad. the air conditioning shut off at night, so the room got hot. the breakfast staff got confused with orders and even forgot them. i expected better service.
The staff was friendly. The guest relations manager arranged our transport and dinner reservations and his recommendations were spot on (a attentive service).
The hotel has an inadequate gym. Air conditioning turns off at night, thus the room warms up.
