Decent hotel in pleasant town

Good hotel other than the smell in the bathroom was unpleasant. Suspect there was a blockage somewhere. Room otherwise more than adequate.

Restaurangen.

Överlag bra. Varmt på rummet i och med avsaknad av AC. Det är ett stort minus som jag måste komma ihåg tills nästa gång, dvs undvika hotellet om det är högsommar. Rent på rummet och i badrummet. Saknade minibar, främst för möjligheten att ha en kyl. Låg standard mot vad jag är van vid. Åt på restaurangen på kvällen. Maten var bra, tack köket. Men servisen, oj, så ouppmärksam personal var det länge sedan som jag såg. Det var katastrof dåligt, då var det ändå tre personer som jobbade och vi hade ett bord precis framför baren. Skärpning.

Bra frukost och service, men varmt rum

Hotellet har ett bra läge och frukosten var riktigt trevlig. Personalen, särskilt nattpersonalen, var hjälpsam när vår förbokade parkering visade sig vara full – vi fick en alternativ plats, vilket löste problemet. Tyvärr var rummet väldigt varmt och utan AC, vilket påverkade sömnen negativt. Ett i övrigt trevligt hotell, men med vissa praktiska brister att vara medveten om.
