It’s ok, personally wouldn’t say it’s a premium 4*. Rooms are a little dated. You can see the poor maintenance. Lobby/ breakfast area - that’s where some money has been spent on a refurb. Rooms - need more attention. I did enjoy breakfast, albeit - would probably choose somewhere different next time.
