massage session rooftop pool steam room missing shampoo long line refillable tubes

I had a massage session in the Aegeo Spa. Marie was very professional. She ensured I had a good massage session. The rooftop pool area is there, and it has a sauna, a steam room, and a gym for use before or after the session.

The room is spacious with a separate bath and a shower stall. the shower stall had no shampoo or bath gel. These came in refillable tubes. They are located only at the bathtub. The food was organized in one long line so you see a long line of people waiting to get food.

Underwhelming stay. Needs improvement

worn furniture bathroom exhaust

The breakfast buffet offered a decent variety of options. It was acceptable.

I was disappointed with the state of the room. the furniture felt quite old and worn. the bathroom exhaust fan didn't work and the pool ladder was loose. the room got uncomfortably hot at night and the street noise was very loud. I needed to keep the air conditioning running constantly.

The breakfast buffet had a RICH selection. The food tasted very good.

The check-in process proved frustrating. I requested an iron. I learned they are only available for Executive Suite guests. I found this unacceptable given my long journey and the hotel's purported standards. I encountered difficulty obtaining basic amenities.
