mixed feelings about the stay

decent equipmentmessed check-inuncovered bread
the gym had decent equipment and seemed useful (i appreciate that).
the check-in process was a mess. i arrived early and was told i could pay extra to check in immediately, but when i came back at the official check-in time, my room still wasn't ready. also, during breakfast, i saw some mosquitoes near the uncovered bread, which wasn't very appetizing.
