Acceptable Hotel Stay

fine gardens well-kept treadmills uncomfortably warm room slow bar service
The gardens around the hotel were fine. There were many paths and quiet spots to explore, and the landscaping was excellent. The gym had a good range of equipment. I used the treadmills and found them well-kept.
The room's temperature was uncomfortably warm. It was difficult to sleep, even with the fan provided. The bar service was a bit slow. I waited for quite a while to get my drink.
