weak signalrepetitive selection
The wifi signal proved disappointingly weak. I experienced intermittent connectivity issues. The gym equipment requires maintenance. I noted that several machines were out of service. I found it particularly inconvenient that some advertised amenities were unavailable . The staff seemed short-handed, I had to wait extended periods for service at the bar. The breakfast buffet selection was repetitive I would have appreciated greater variety during my 6 night stay.

The security was quite good. I felt safe there.
My room's balcony faced a wall, so there wasn't a view! the noise from the nearby train was rather annoying. It went on at all hours, and I could hear it even with the windows closed. I definitely did not get the peaceful retreat I was hoping for.
