Poor Food, Lovely room

The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

Dåligt. Svårt att få parkering. Smutsigt rum. Fick en fläkt för att kunna vara i rummet når det var varmt ute, det var fruktansvärt varmt.

Mycket varmt. Men fönster kunde öppnas. Så det var inget problem. Golvbrunn borde rengöras. Vattnet rann ut för sakta.

Nöjd men varm

Allt finns som en familj kan tänkas behöva, poolen var mycket uppskattad. Hade fått fullt betyg om det hade funnits solfilm, markis eller AC, för det har varit fruktansvärt varmt i rummen nu när det varit 25-30 grader om dagarna.

De lange korridorers hotell.

Dette hotellet er bygget i lengden, ikke i høyden. det betyr at du må gå litt for å komme til rommet hvis du ikke får et rom nær resepsjonen. Rom 154 tror jeg, lå i underetasjen , og hadde utsikt mot elven. Et helt greit hotell, som kanskje heller burde hett motell...Men ikke noe alvorlig å klage på her. Litt dårlig utvalg i baren, men kort vei til sentrum( ca 1000 meter). Vi hadde det bra her!

Om du vill ha AC så välj ett annat hotell

Ett hotell utan AC i varken rum eller på hotellet. Värmebölja i Sverige med 32 grader ute och det hotellet kan erbjuda är att man får öppna sitt fönster och så får man låna en fläkt. Ingen genomströmning av luft i rummet och vi fick kyla ner oss under natten genom att duscha var tredje timme. Vår son på 1 år hade svårt att andas, fick eksem av svett och mådde inte bra / kunde sova i rummet. Personalen i restaurangen/frukosten var nya och unga och hade inte koll på någonting. Frukostbuffén var utplockad och fylldes på sällan. Det fanns en stor parkering men den tog inte alla bilar som var gäster. Vissa fick ställa sig på gräsmattan för att det inte fanns någon plats kvar på kvällen när man kom dit. Personalen i repan var tvärtemot serviceminded och helt klart otrevliga och verkade sura och uttråkade.
