The breakfast buffet seemed disorganized, with some stations often unattended. i noticed the coffee machine required frequent refilling, and the pastries looked stale on a couple of mornings. the room service menu also felt limited. the fitness center was small. it lacked several essential machines. There were only two treadmills available. the air conditioning system in my room made noise at night.
