Dinner was excellent and I found the gym to be superior to most hotels where I've stayed as it had a complete range of dumbbell weights, not just small ones, in addition to some machines, pullup bar, and barbell bench press, There were, of course, treadmills and another room with stationary bikes. The room was not large, but modern.

Clean room, comfy bed, the coffee pod/machine was nice and excellent to find decaf options available. Efficient staff at front desk and in bar/food. Not sure why you need to order food from a designated food till rather than at the bar. Apart from that excellent.
