Fina stora rum men extremt dyrt, dålig frukost, obefintligt spa.
Pros:

Två rum bredvid varandra med dörr emellan passade oss väldigt bra.

Cons:

Usel frukost. Smalt utbud, trist upplagt, allmänt ”snusk” med alldeles för dåligt efterhållet. Vi fick hår i Skyren, sa till, fick inte ens en ursäkt. Kaffet var slut, fick säga till. Juicen var slut, fick säga till. Skyr var slut, fick säga till. Så var det alla fem morgnar. Bullrig miljö, trångt, dålig luft, ointresserad personal som bad oss flytta på oss flera gånger när ni skulle ta kaffe, då de precis då skulle riva och plocka i lådor som stod precis under kaffemaskinen.

Hotellet har en liten restaurang där det konstant luktar fisk. Ingen trevlig fisk-lukt.

Spa:t är en pytteliten ”pool” med 3-4 hängstolar runt omkring. Att kalla det ”Spa-hotell” är inte rätt.

Cons:

Ich habe mir mehr von diesem Hotel versprochen. Als wir in das Zimmer kamen, kam uns ein unangenehmer Geruch entgegen. Trotz täglichen lüftens ging der Geruch nur schleppend weg. In der Zimmerbeschreibung stand, es gäbe einen Fön auf dem Zimmer, aber es gab keinen. Nicht mal eine Steckdose. Die Amatur der Badewanne war defekt. Diese ließ sich nicht auf Handbrause oder Hahn verstellen. Diverse Fliesen waren defekt. In der Zimmerdecke war ein großer Riss. Mein gebuchter Spa Termin sollte ohne Grund verschoben werden. Als ich einen Termin vorschlug an nächsten Tag, wollte mal mir einen geben, wo ich nicht mehr da war. Beim Frühstücksbuffet gab es immer dasselbe. 2 Sorten Weißbrot, Knäckebrot und Croissants. Von meiner Seite aus gibt es keine Empfehlung für dieses Hotel.

Wrong choice for us
Pros:

Location was on the outer edge of town. Free parking. Easy drive into downtown or out to do tours.

Cons:

We booked this property because of the spa and gym facilities. We were unable to use the spa and gym facilities because the hours are so limited. They were not open in the morning before we left at 8 AM for tours nor when we came back in the evening at 8 PM. This was an absolute waste of our money to book this property with intentions to use the spot and gym. The property is a bit dated and overpriced for what it is.
