the indoor pool facilities met expectations and were appreciated after a long day.

the elevators were a real problem. i faced significant delays, and it seemed one wasn't working at all. the room's air conditioning was also inadequate. it struggled to cool the room effectively, causing discomfort, especially during warmer hours.
