Gym Room and Training Areas: was reasonable. It could have been excellent with additional equipment available such as Pulley system or Rack Mounted Pulley system. Breakfast: breakfast hours of services were flexible for not early risers. Future improvement could include more menue with lots of fruits. Instant cofee makers were top of notch. I hope to see this again.
