For a 4 star hotel, the experience was very mediocre. The place absolutely could do with a lick of paint and a tidy up. On arriving (at the hotel check in time), we were told our room was not ready. The curtains were hanging off the rails. No mini bar or snacks in the room. And a view onto a car park. Disappointing.
