P-halli täynnä. Vaikea löytää autolla hotellin pihalle jos ei ole ennen ajanut alueella. Voisi olla iso kyltti (opaste nuoli kadun reunalla ”hotelli Ilves”) koska autoilija täytyy seurata liikennettä ja hotellin viereisellä kadulla runsaasti jalankulkijoita ja skuuteilla ajavia. ) kaiken lisäksi yllättäen kieltomerkki Valtakadulle.

Hyvä hotelli, hyvällä paikalla

Helppo saapua juna-asemalta kävellen, laukkujenkin kanssa. Siisti suuri huone, hyvät näkymät Ratinalle. Kylpyhuoneessa ammeen reunan korkeus saattaa olla haastava joillekin. Mahtava aamupala, runsas ja maukas. Meidän porukka tykkäsi hotellin edestä lähtevästä Katujunasta (kesäisin), jolla päästiin vähän erilaisella kyydillä Särkänniemeen.

Hyvä hotelli ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Laukun saaminen säilytyksestä kesti, kun sisäänkirjautuvia oli paljon. Voisiko sitä jotenkin suunnitella niin, että laukun ssisi haettua ns. jonon ohi.
