Acceptable, but Some Issues Need Addressing

slow check-in no apologies

The location is excellent. It was exactly what I needed to start my holiday.

The check-in process was unexpectedly slow. After waiting almost four hours past the stated check-in time, our room was still not ready. There were no apologies offered for the inconvenience.
