Pros:

Jeg likte at betjeningen var veldig serviceinnstilt og gjorde det de kunne for å finne et egnet rom for oss da det rommet vi i utgangspunktet hadde fått ikke passet oss.

Sentralt hotell, midt i smørøyet
Pros:

Super beliggenhet, sentralt. God seng.

Cons:

Lite bad, manglet propp i vasken og holder til dorullen var ødelagt. Lite rom, men ok for prisen vi betalte.
