Disappointing stay

Despite looking nice from the outside, the rooms & services are very disappointing. Nothing of what you would expect in a 4* hotel (for the price you are paying) is provided (slippers, coffee machine, enough water etc…). There was a bad smell from sewage in the bathroom and the AC was very loud. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel
