Mediocre hotel great gym

The hotel is OK. But in this price range there are several better hotels. The reason I stay here is that the gym is really good, while floor with good equipment rather than what most hotels have. Unfortunately the AC doesn’t work properly so my room was quite hot. Changed room once because of this but the new room was more or less the same. Seems like their AC doesn’t have the capacity that is needed.
