Great facilities but

Why don't the staff in the gym stop people just sitting on the equipment, preening themselves and checking social media? Certain pieces of equipment cannot be used for long periods because of this. It may be time to find a new gym. Shame as it's...More

There really is nothing good about this cafe at all. Overpriced, poor choice and bad service. Please take the time to walk 3 minutes further to a much better cafe on campus!
