When I went to check in there was one gentlemen was the desk on the phone, I stood at the reception for 10-15 minutes waiting for someone to come and greet me, I could see people in the back office, finally a young girl came out, took my license, gave me a bit of paper and a key and said there you go. I asked about room location, where I could park, she just said "out the back". Very poor greeting. Our room also ws dated and needed a bit of TLC or renovation.

The hotel was nice and affordable. Close to enough restaurants also. The room was as to be expected and clean. Great views. Only negative would be the mini fridge didn't work properly and took 3 days to get our drinks cold. Definitely need a replacement. Other than that we had a great stay.

Great location. Wonderful views. Noisy neighbours, probably as we had a room with an adjoining door but they were early risers! Good facilities in the room though. Problem with the elevators the day we departed.

Was not allowed to sit outside on balcony and smoke. If room left with excess rubbish would be charged for cleaning. I’m a housekeeper and have never heard of extra charge for cleaning. Did not feel welcome.Gad to pay to get a towel to use in pool. Should be supplied. staff never spoke even when we left. Wasn’t even asked if we enjoyed our stay. Very sad as such a beautiful spot with amazing views. Wouldn’t recomnend. I could keep going but I think that’s enough
