Unimpressive stay AT the hotel

functional equipmentdated roomunclear resort fee
The gym offered functional equipment.
The room felt somewhat dated. It needed some updates. The resort fee seemed unclear. I wondered what it actually covered, since some amenities one might expect, like replenished water, weren't provided. It seemed like an added charge without a clear benefit.

Acceptable Stay with Minor Issues

detached staffmissing safe
I found a couple of things less than satisfactory. The reception staff seemed rather detached, not particularly cute. I also discovered the absence of a safe in the room quite inconvenient. Most hotels I stay in provide that.
