Pros:

Erittäin siisti hotelli, josta avautuivat kauniit näkymät. Sängyt olivat hyvät ja aamupala oli erinomainen. Ei mitään valittamista.

Erittäin miellyttävä hotelli Saanan läheisyydessä.
Pros:

Aamiainen oli maittava ja riittävä. Pidimme siitä, että tarjolla oli pohjoisen makuja, kuten esim. karpaloita, juustoleipää. Inkivääri-shotit olivat kiva lisä.

Illallinen ravintolassa oli loistava kokemus; ruoka oli erinomaista, palvelu oli ensiluokkaista ja sujuvan kohteliasta. Oli ilahduttavaa nähdä, kuinka tarjoilija oli taitava työssään. Hyvä Mikko!

Cons:

Aamiaisella oli ajoittain ruuhkaa, jolloin pöytien siistiminen hieman nopeammin sujuvoittaisi sitä. Piirakoille omat ottimet, jottei niitä tarvitsisi ottaa paljain käsin.
