acceptable breakfastsmall roomweak water pressure

The breakfast was acceptable. It had the bare minimum.

The room, a standard king room. was ridiculously small. i couldn't even open my suitcase fully without it hitting the bed, and the bathroom was like it was designed for someone half my size. the shower was a disaster too. The water pressure was so weak it was barely a trickle..

The room was very clean and well kept. The gym had modern equipment, including three treadmills and two stationary bikes. Breakfast was really delicious with so many choices (I especially liked the fresh fruit selection!).

The shower design allowed water to easily splash onto the bathroom floor. The room lacked sufficient storage space for luggage.

The location offered easy access to the U3 line, a seven minute walk. The breakfast provided a huge selection of food and drink (i liked fresh juices).

The shower had a small door, causing water to spill onto the floor.
