Clean property, good facilities although the TV remote didn’t work. Improved exterior since last visit would suggest wooden trellis divides for more privacy between units.
The property was a convenient location with great views. The parking was right outside the room. The Wifi was not good.

Disliked: Staff & service
Sadly, communication with the hotel proved impossible. I was “stranded” down in the town area with the hotel a half hour walk up a steep hill with heavy luggage. Numerous phone call ignored. Eventually managed to get a lift to the hotel. When there, staff were kind and attentive. Accommodation better than average.
Next morning I needed a lift into town to catch the bus. No one showed up at Reception at office opening time, not responded to my phone calls. I had to hitch a ride down in to town.
Very, very poor communication skills.
