When we checked in to the hotel, we got a really old looking room on the 4th floor. The couches, the furniture, the carpet and even the mattress were very old and didn't look like they belonged in a 5 star hotel. We later went to the receptionist and asked to be moved to another room, and after an hour and a half of waiting, we got moved to a room that was recently renovated on the 8th floor at no extra charge. This room still had some parts that were part of the old structure, such as the door frames, the closet doors and the restroom , but was still better than the first one (and didn't smell bad). We couldn't open the windows in either of these rooms.
Besides the room problem, the breakfast included in the price of the room was so so, as I was expecting larger variety of food to be served. The spa area was pretty nice, as we had access to a big, well-equiped gym; I didn't like the fact that people that don't have a room at the hotel can also have access to the gym and pool, which makes these places very crowded. Also, the view wasn't that great.
I would also like to point out that the hotel is very far out and that the avalabile taxi services are pricey so you might want to take that into consideration.
