Room, staff, and parking all good. Didn't use the kitchen. The unit was actually very good and I would happily stay there again. However, check-in was terrible. We rang in the afternoon and were assured we could arrive at 9pm. We did arrive at 8.45pm when it was dark - glad it wasn't raining. YOU NEED TO CLEARLY COMMUNICATE WHERE TO FIND RECEPTION - up the road in the next block!!!!!!!
