Acceptable stay, some issues noticed

weak coffeelimited ventilation
I found a few aspects disappointing. The coffee machine produced weak coffee. The absence of complimentary water bottles in the room was unexpected. The gym, although well-equipped, lacked adequate ventilation, made workouts uncomfortable (especially during peak hours). I also noticed the limited selection of English-language channels on the television. I would have liked more options to relax in my room.
