generally adequate stay
convenient location clean room rooftop pool limited selection odd layout limited equipment
the location was convenient. i could easily walk to many attractions. the room was clean and of adequate size (though i did notice some minor wear). the rooftop pool provided a nice respite from the city heat.
The breakfast was rather unremarkable. the selection was limited. refilling seemed slow. (it felt understaffed at times). the room layout felt a little odd. The bathroom felt a bit exposed to the sleeping area. the gym equipment seemed limited.
