Godt fornøyd, bassenget er attraktivt og alle de fine detaljene i fellesrommene, et veldig flott hot
Pros:

Frokosten var god.

Cons:

Renholdet på badet, støv på hyllene, var der i fjor og la da også merke til at det ikke var helt rent på badet.

Pros:

Veldig bra frokost

Cons:

Det var ikke ventilasjon på badet, uten mulighet til å åpne et vindu(dette kan ikke være iht byggeforskrifter)
Hyggelige fellesområder, men rommet levde på fordums storhet.
