Little Finnish experience
Pros:

Wonderful little place by the lake. Very comfortable beds, nice clean bathroom. Beautiful rooms and pretty buildings. Just stayed for one night, but would have happily stayed longer. Check in went very smoothly.
Didn't get to use any of the additional offers (e.g. Sauna, skates,..), but they were there.
Breakfast was fresh and plenty. Cold cuts, cheese, bread, eggs, bacon and lots of coffee. Perfect

Cons:

An armchair in the room would be nice. But that is really the only thing missing.

Pros:

Hyvä sijainti, hyvä tunnelma, kaunis ympäristö.

Cons:

Huone oli ensiksi liian kuuma, ehkäpä kovat pakkaset ja nopea lauhtuminen eikö tekniikka ehtinyt mukaan. Patteria säätämällä asia korjaantuu.
