The fitness center is really bare bones. Doesn’t even have workout mats. Bathroom sink is shallow so splashes on you.

The only thing i didnt enjoy was the bed, everything else about this hotel and its location is great. The bed was just real firm, ultra firm. And i guess the shower pressure was kinda sad tbh but everything else was great
