Ajoi asian, sijainti messukeskukseen oli tärkeä.
Pros:

Helppo varata, kohtuunopea sisäänkirjautuminen

Cons:

Varasin huoneen booking.com
luulin ottaneeni aamiaisella, mutta ilmeisesti olikin tullut napattua ilman.
No siitä selvisi maksamisella, mutta olisi hyvä, jos olisi esim. huomautus, että Aamiainen ei kuulu tähän hintaan.
Huoneen molemmat wc ssä olevat lasit olivat likaisia, oli ikävä huomata yöllä että näin.

Muuten kaikki toimi hienosti. Olemme olleet kyseisessä hotellissa 7 vuonna peräkkäin. Tulemme todennäköisesti ensi vuonn
Pros:

Aamupala oli hyvä

Cons:

Sauna oli ensimmäisenä päivänä pois käytöstä. Kävimme turhaan kokeilemassa saunaa alasti.
Ei ilmoitettu mitenkään ennakkoon.

Mukavaa oleskelua
Pros:

Monipuolinen kattaus aamiaisella

Cons:

Tuoreita hedelmiä niukasti tarjolla, loppuivat kesken aamiaisajan aikana. Infoa oli wc:ssä veden käytöstä esim.hammaspesun aikana, mietin pidesuihkun käyttöä, ( kun on lyhyt ihminen )kuinka paljon siinä laskee hukkaan vettä kun vesiraana pitää aukaista ja mennä takaisin wc istuimelle istumaan ja sitten pääsee käyttämään pidettä.
🤔

Pros:

Sijainti erinomainen kun kävimme messuilla. Huoneet olivat siistejä.

Cons:

Hotelliin kirjautuminen on erittäin hidasta. Aamupalalle mentäessä hotellin aula oli siivoton. Tyhjiä tölkkejä pöydillä, oletettavasti edelliseltä illalta.
