The breakfast variety was acceptable, it did the trick.
The gym was a joke. I mean, it had a treadmill, but good luck getting a workout with that alone. My room's balcony was practically bare, I thought hotels usually try a little bit harder, but I guess not.

The location had easy access to the marina. Breakfast included a wide range of foods, and the quality seemed excellent. The staff seemed helpful across all departments.
My room felt a bit dungeon-like. The room smelled of dog urine and I saw ants. Housekeeping left my window open and let flies inside.
