Been in better 4 star hotels.
Pros:

Nice big towels in the bathroom. Room was clean. Staff are friendly. They made an effort to put me in a double room after I was allocated a room with twin beds. The room I booked did indicate that it is a double room.

Cons:

No fridge and water in the room. For a 4 star hotel they could have provided cold bottled water. No shower cap, luckily I brought my own. View was of the roof below.🙁
