breakfast qualityunfair policy

i was disappointed with the breakfast. the quality of the buffet items seemed below what i expect at this price point. furthermore, the gym access policy felt unfair. hotel guests receive complimentary towels while leisure center members do not, this prioritizes one-time visitors over recurrent ones.
