Hotel excellent, parent company poor
Pros:

We were very pleased with our stay, clean comfortable, good food and pleasant staff. Good location for visiting many local places of interest.

Cons:

We were unavoidable delayed and could not find a telephone number to warn the hotel. All numbers (about three) including that on booking.com took us through to the parent company booking site that simple said it was closed for the weekend and endef the call. This added considerable stress to our journey. I consider this very poor customer service of the parent company, not the hotel itself.
