Okay Stay
spacious lobby state of the line exercise equipment indoor pool bathroom fan reception staff noise
I found the lobby spacious with enough room to sit. i liked the gym. It has state of the line exercise equipment. it was impeccably clean with overflowing towels at the indoor pool..
the bathroom fan ran throughout the entire night. apparently, the hotel was full, so maintenance could not resolve the noise. the reception staff were polite, but they couldn't move me to another room..
