6
Multiple mentions of dirty or stained bed linens and curtains, bad smells in rooms and corridors, and flies in the restaurant — cleanliness is a notable negative issue.

Numerous comments praise staff and reception (friendly, helpful, specific staff helped rebook); service is consistently reported as a strong point.
Location
8.4
Frequently noted as conveniently located (near E6, easy access to town, parking available); location is a clear positive.
Room Quality
6
Many guests report problems: no air conditioning leading to very hot rooms, noisy/thin walls, occasional rooms without windows, poor beds and small room sizes for families.
Amenities
6.2
Mixed: family facilities (kids areas, pool) and breakfast facilities are good, but several mentions of missing in-room amenities (no kettle/coffee, no mini-fridge), small fitness centre and cold pool reduce the score.

Guests often call the hotel reasonably priced and family-friendly with good kids' options, though some service/room issues temper perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Breakfast is repeatedly described as very good/excellent and varied; occasional complaints (flies in restaurant) are noted but overall F&B is a strength.
Overall Experience
6.6
Overall mixed impressions: many families satisfied and praise staff, breakfast and location, but heat, noise, cleanliness and amenity gaps negatively impacted stays.

Supertrevlig personal, alla vi mötte bemötte oss toppen!
Vi åt även buffé i restaurangen pga tidsbrist, vi båda blev glatt överraskad. Hur gott som helst! O efter vårt event fanns det nattamat=korv! Succé!

Något hård säng men det är ju en smaksak.

Pros:

Bra lokaler och bra middag och frukost.

Cons:

På Bookings hemsida angavs det att rummet för tre personer skulle ha en sittgrupp. Detta var viktigt för oss då vi var iväg på SM i bågskytte och behövde plats för att kunna sitta ner och ordna vår utrustning. Sittgrupp bestod av en liten fåtölj. Enligt personal har de aldrig angivet att det ska finnas sittgrupp. Detta försvårade vårt besök och gör oss väldigt besvikna då detta var en av anledningarna till att jag bokade rummet.

Hyvä hotelli
Pros:

Hotelli oli erittäin hyvä viikonlopun majoittumiseen. Siisti ja hyvän kokoinen huone ja ihana aamupala ja hyvä illallinen. Sauna ja allas plussaa!

Cons:

Sijainti ei mitä parhain, jos liikut julkisilla.

Helt ok
Pros:

Beliggenhet

Cons:

Renhold på rommet må forbedres betydelig. Da vi skulle sjekke ut, oppdaget vi at barnemadrassen var svært skitten, flekkete og tydelig preget av manglende renhold. Det var rett og slett en ubehagelig opplevelse å se madrassen i den tilstanden.

Jeg vurderte et øyeblikk å undersøke de andre madrassene også, men jeg ble ærlig talt kvalm av tanken på hva jeg kunne finne. Badet var heller ikke ordentlig vasket eller rengjort da vi sjekket inn.

Dette er ikke noe man forventer å møte på et hotell, og renholdet på rommet er et område hotellet bør ta tak i umiddelbart.
