"The gym could have been a little better , it was good but equipment were very close to each other , I feel that Hotel knows about this so hopefully they will amend this soon. I was confused between Sheraton and this property but i will say this is value for money and additionally center is not very far so you can always get Uber to reach center. You have nice walking /running area around hotel which is added plus."
