En övernattning på väg mot annat mål.
Pros:

Trevlig och tillmötesgående personal.

Cons:

Maten för kvällen var ingen hit. Mycket bättre förra gången vi var där.
Hade vi bara otur?

Pros:

Full renovering med lobby och matsal. Men med fin personal och ett uppassande blev det lite lyxig känsla.

Opholdet svarede til mine forventninger
Pros:

Ok værelse med ok senge, men vi er vandt til en større seng, så lidt problem. Fint badeværelse. Da dele af hotellset var under renovering, vewd jeg ikke om jeg havde fået bedre (større) værelse, hvis jeg kom en anden gang.

Cons:

Maden er ok, specielt morgenmaden, men aftensmaden kunne være lidt mere spændende. Dog rigtig lækker fiskeret om onsdagen. Fint med 3 slags salater om aftenen.

Synd på ombyggnaden på de övre planen som inte alls var trevligt att höra, kanske en viss kompensation vore på sin rätt.
Pros:

Nära torget och centrum.

Cons:

Det var snickare där som förde oväsen, både när vi checkade in och på morgonen. Det började låta som bara den innan 8 på morgonen som sedan fortsatte. Synd att man inte visste det.

Jag är konservativ vad gäller bastu. Jag förväntar mig inte en spa-upplevelse
