i wasn't happy with a couple of things. the gym was smaller than i expected, and it only had a few pieces of equipment. also, the breakfast buffet was often crowded, and it was hard to find a seat. i also thought the lighting in the room was too dim. it made it difficult to read or work, especially in the evenings.
