unhelpful staff rusty weights
The staff really gave me problems. I asked for extra towels, and the guy acted like I was asking for a kidney! the gym was a joke. Two treadmills were out of order and I saw only rusty weights. So much for keeping up with my fitness routine while traveling. This annoyed me a lot.
