Really good stay!

I REALLY liked the different pools available. The gym included three treadmills and two stationary bikes. Vending machines in the basement made getting drinks EASY. The location impressed me (it's close to shops!).

The decor looked somewhat dated.

outdated decorloud plumbing

I must say, the room looked like it was stuck in a time warp. I swear, the furniture selection seemed like it was auditioning for a museum exhibit. The outdated decor screamed for a makeover. the noise levels made relaxation a challenge. I could hear every conversation in the hallway and each flush from neighboring rooms. Sleep was a real luxury there.

The location was convenient. The tram stop is right outside the hotel. the pools were a hit. i also found the gym well-equipped. it had multiple treadmills and stationary bikes.

i found some dust accumulation on the ceiling fans. i think more frequent cleaning in this area would improve the overall experience.
