Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel makes a very good impression from the outside and has plenty of free parking.The reception at the front desk was very friendly and courteous. The only annoyance in the room, which was large enough overall, was the constant supply of cool air via a room ventilation system (not the air conditioning system that can be switched off, this was switched off and in another corner of the room), which could not be switched off. The breakfast was very good and varied.

We stayed for one night in room 10 with my 3 year old daughter. And above us it sounded like a tornado for hours and my daughter could not fall asleep.

Dust and dirt

Well, there's a first for everything, and this marks my inaugural negative hotel review. Just a few squares of toilet paper left and one towel short, dust on the floor and dirt on the walls. On the bright side, breakfast offered a decent spread. Service could have been better.

More dust bunnies and snorkles then service

Well, there's a first for everything, and this marks my inaugural negative hotel review. With just a few squares of toilet paper left and one towel MIA, the abundance of dust bunnies on the floor and snorkels adorning the walls really tied together the 'charm' of the place. On the bright side, breakfast offered a decent spread, although the flies seemed to think the ham and cheese were the main attraction. As for the reception service, they weren't outright rude, but 'friendly' wasn't in their vocabulary that day.

Bättre sängar än jag förväntade mig! Brukar alltid få ont i kroppen av hårda hotellsängar, för stora kuddar och tunna täcken men denna var perfekt! Sen gillade jag att man kunde ställa in värmen på rummet själv 👏
