Acceptable Hotel Experience

helpful staff breakfast variety small gym inconsistent shower small pool area slow elevators
I found the staff quite helpful. They assisted me with directions. The breakfast offered a nice variety (I really enjoyed the fresh fruit). The hotel also had a convenient, small gym. It had enough equipment for a quick workout.
The shower temperature was inconsistent. It changed from very hot to cold. The pool area was small. The views from the pool were not great. The elevators were quite slow. Waiting took extra time.

a decent stay, some drawbacks

friendly staff refreshing pool bathroom privacy glass door cabins
The staff were friendly. the location is convenient for reaching the center via public transportation. i appreciated the pool. It was refreshing during the summer days.
The bathroom lacked privacy since there was no door between it and the room. the sink was next to the coffee maker. This made my hygiene routine unpleasant as there was no separation from the bedroom. there were two glass door cabins, one for the shower and one for the toilet.
