generous selection convenient location closed gym shaky bed

The location was convenient. The breakfast offered a generous selection of items, including fresh fruit and pastries. It was great.

The gym was advertised as open, but I found it closed upon arrival. My room had a shaky bed. It made sleeping difficult.
