Työmatka
Pros:

Hiljainen huone, hyvät sängyt, moitteeton siisteys. Itse säädettävä ilmastointi huoneessa. P-talo lähellä, tien toisella puolella jossa myös ABC latauspaikkoja. Hyvä ravintola hotellin yhteydessä. Erityismaininta karjalanpiirakoille ja munavoille aamupalalla.

Cons:

Suihkun letku oli rikki, hotellin yhteydessä oleva Spa on eri maksulla (tuohon hintaa luulisi jo sisältyvän), hidas vastaanotto.

Pros:

Hyvän kokoinen huone. Super hyvät tyynyt ja mukavat pedit nukkua. Siisti ja kodikas huone. Monipuolinen ja maittava aamiainen. Hotellin ravintolassa todella maittava ruoka. Kiva oli istua myös baarin puolella lasillisella.

Cons:

Huone oli melko pölyinen. Sänkyyn kun meni makaamaan niin näki kuinka paljon pölyä leijaili ilmassa ja mustat vaatteet oli pölystä harmaat.
