Modern short stay hotel near train station
Pros:

The hotel was perfect for our 1 night stay. We arrived by train and the hotel was a short walk from the station. The staff member who greeted us was friendly and very helpful in telling us how to use the digital keys, and how to get to the town center. The room was clean with a wonderful shower with excellent water pressure. The bed had two side by side comforters and the mattress was very comfortable. The lake was a short walk down the hill. There was a room for bag storage near reception that we could access on our own so we were able to leave our bags there after checkout.

Cons:

There was a step in the room between the bedroom and bathroom made of concrete that was difficult to see at night. The lighting controls for the room were black and not illuminated so it was difficult to find the bathroom light switch in the middle of the night

Läget, läckerheten och trevlig personal. Roligt att prova på annorlunda boende.

Saknade svart te och TVn var svår att förstå sig på.
