Our room was not up to 4 star standards. The furniture was not kept up, neither was the bathroom. We needed to be moved to another room that also had chipped furniture and was dusty. I did share my concerns with the front desk staff. I see this as a 3 star. However, I would say the lounge area on the 1st floor was nice.
