Absolutely NOT a four star hotel

Absolutely NOT a four star hotel. Should be two at most. Don’t get fooled by the lobby. No reception, very small room made of plastic. Toilets are basically in the shower, with the lavatory in the middle of the room (you read that right). Bottled water: in your dreams. Instead two plastic cup with a note telling you to sort yourself with the tape. The bed is literally wall to wall to window, which means that if your spouse has to wake up or go to the toilets, they have to go over you. Floor made of cheap linoleum. Check in, no early options, won’t even give you the keys before. And you better be there in person for the keys, otherwise your spouse is not getting the room, even with booking receipt and ID showing the same family name and the baggage receipt tag from checking in earlier. Had to argue for 20mn. No bathrobes provided, or anything. Never booking again.
