Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mixed reports: several guests praised clean, well-smelling rooms, but there are multiple serious complaints about extremely dirty rooms, unclean bathrooms and dirty bedsheets; also safety concerns about slippery shower floors.
Service
9.5
Generally praised — staff described as friendly and accommodating (upgrades, helpful reception); however there is a notable negative incident regarding handling of children and a manager communication issue.
Location
9.5
Very positive: central, local with nearby stores and convenient for events; one guest noted the hotel is tucked behind another building which made it harder to find initially.
Room Quality
7.5
Mostly comfortable and clean for many guests, but some rooms had serious problems (dirty sheets, bathroom not cleaned), and accessibility/safety issues (tub too high, slippery floors).
Amenities
9
Some strong points (pancake machine, fresh-ground coffee) and convenient local access; negatives include no pool and issues with internet/cable — overall amenities are good but not comprehensive.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed: some guests felt the price was high for what was offered (no pool, limited breakfast options) and one guest reported a costly, disappointing stay; others found the stay reasonable.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast had highlights (pancake machine, good coffee) but several guests noted limited variety, occasional cold items and missing staples (bacon, consistent eggs); overall acceptable but could improve.
Overall Experience
9.5
Generally positive stays for many guests — clean rooms, friendly staff and good location — but inconsistent cleanliness and an isolated but serious service incident reduce reliability for some travelers.

Overall I had a good stay here.
Pros:

I stayed here for my daughter's tournament. When I arrived they gave me a room that only had one queen size bed but I booked for two. The recptionist was very accommodating and upgraded our room. The room was clean and smelled better than the first one they were giving us. The staff were very nice during my stay.

Cons:

I didn't like that I wasn't contacted by staff beforehand regarding the change to my booking reservation. If there were no other rooms available I possibly would have been stuck with one queen size bed for my family. Thankfully not all the rooms were booked.

Staff doesnt like children
Pros:

The location was great

Cons:

They banned me because my 2 toddlers spilled cereal on the floor and i spent an extra hour cleaning it up for it to no be good enough. I spent over 1000 for less than a week. What a joke, and the manager couldnt even say it to my face, she had to call me off a private number while i was out to lunch.

Nice place for a quick stay but thought it was pricy for one night for two queen beds and no pool.
Pros:

Place was nice and clean.

Cons:

Was behind another hotel so I didn’t see it at first and went to the wrong one. Continental breakfast was just okay. Sausage was cold in the middle, no bacon and not a whole lot to choose from! Coffee was fresh ground and good. No pool

Vänlig och tillmötesgående personal.
Pros:

Centralt, välstädat, tyst och lugnt.

Cons:

Kunde vara lite mera variation i frukosten. Äggröra och bacon borde alltid finnas.

Good place to stay
Pros:

We stayed here for one night. Super convenient location. The front desk staff were super nice. Shower pressure was great. Breakfast was sufficient, and the breakfast area was very clean. We didn't use the TV. Beds were comfortable, but we had our own pillows.

Cons:

Just the corners in the bathroom floor weren't clean.

Gross bathrooms and over priced
Pros:

The bed was soft

Cons:

The clerk didnt tell me there were WIFI connectivity problems. I almost missed an important test. It was loud next door. The bathroom was old and hair was in the tub and rusted. Gross
