constant slammingdusty corners
The noise was really bad. i could hear everything happening outside my room. the doors slamming shut was constant and a real annoyance. (it's a basic thing, but it really bothered me.) the room wasn't as clean as i'd hoped. I found some dust in the corners.

The location allowed walks on the hills. Staff members were friendly. The food was good. A shop sold homemade pasties. Local products were also available.
The room was small. It was noisy due to the air conditioning unit. The room was not particularly clean. More attention to detail is needed.

adequate stay with minor problems

unresponsive remoteinconsistent shower
The television remote did not function properly. i attempted to change channels, but the device was unresponsive. furthermore, the shower temperature was inconsistent. It alternated between hot and cold with no predictability. this made for a rather difficult shower, and i never felt comfortable. it require immediate attention.
