Udmærket ophold i godt værelse og god morgenmad. Personalet var mindre engageret
Pros:

Fint værelse og rigtig god morgenmad. Stille værelse. Pænt og rent.en alt fungerede udmærket.

Cons:

Jeg synes personalet var uoplyst om parkeringsmulighederne, som var lidt rundt omkring i byen.
Vi blev ikke modtaget med smil. Og knap var der tid til at svare på enkle praktiske spørgsmål.

Pros:

Sengene var veldig komfortable. Rommet var stort og romslig.

Cons:

Dusjhodet kunne fint ha vært bytta ut, da den hadde dårlig stråle. Hadde og vært greit dersom det hadde vært både shampo og dusjsåpe inni dusjen, og ikke bare en av dem
