i found a delicious assortment of sandwiches. the sweets tree was a beautiful touch at the end. the tea blending session allowed me to craft a blend to my exact tastes.
the television had a limited selection of channels, it lacked cnn, a network i expect to see in international hotels.

elevator noiselimited minibar
I specifically requested a quiet room, but i was placed near the elevators. The constant noise was distracting. The minibar selection was quite limited. It lacked some of the basic items I expect from a hotel. The gym was also surprisingly small, with limited equipment. I think they could improve the variety of snacks and drinks.
