None of the equipment I wanted to use were working! Both available treadmills were broken. Overall, I couldn't use the gym. That was one of the main reasons I booked that hotel, apart from location, so that was very disappointing. Other than that the service was great and breakfasts were nice. Great customer service. ##### Eran Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### John May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel location is great.
