I found the gym facilities to be well-kept. It included several treadmills and weight machines. The outdoor pool provided a relaxing area with plenty of seating, though it was sometimes busy with corporate events. Breakfast service had a good selection.
My room lacked slippers and I had to request them. Communication between the reception and central reservations seemed inconsistent regarding late checkout fees. This was a negative experience.
