It's the second stay for us, however this time we were given a not renovated room and we were apalled by the difference! I have to say, I was a little discusted by the state of the bathroom!
There is no ventilation or possibiliy to open a window in the bathroom, black joints between the tiles in the bath (no separate shower) , broken sink, all just looked very grubby and outdated. I expect better form a 4* hotel.
When I addressed the issue with reception I was told, that they were aware of this fact and that the rooms would be renovated sometime soon and that some had already been done. However, we were not offered a better room! And I couldn't help the feeling that because we didn't book direct this time, we got the grubbier room. Two years ago I booked direct and got a much better one, otherwise we would not have gone back!!
Also, there is a ventilation going on (if your room faces in that direction) until about midnight that can disturb the light sleeper.
On the positive side, the food is still very good!
