Персонал отеля позвонил нам и сообщил, что не могут нас заселить, когда мы уже подъезжали к отелю. Сказали, что у них слишком много гостей.

Pros:

Convenient location, clean, food and drinks were good at the restaurant, easy to find and lots of parking, comfy beds

Cons:

The staff seem to be struggling, too much responsibility to not enough help maybe? Also it was a bit pricy, really didn’t like that there wasn’t refrigerators in the rooms!

Pros:

Häftigt boende!

Cons:

Tyvärr riktigt besviken på frukosten. Pannkaksmixen var slut första dagen. Andra dagen togs beställning på pannkakor igen, 10 minuter senare kom de på att den var slut även denna dagen. Istället beställdes youghurt, efter ytterligare 10 minuter kom man på att även den var slut. Helt klart inte värt att äta frukosten på hotellet!
