Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Property cancelled on us with less than 24hours before check-in (due to a maintenance issue, no further explanation given). No apology, had to haggle with Expedia customer sercice for obtain refund (because obviously the booking was non-cancellableat the point they cancelled on me).. Less than impressed ans cant recommend.
