Worth the money.
Pros:

Clean and almost new-like rooms in the new annex building of the hotel. Depending on selected room, also a good amount of floor space. Functioning fridge for cooling your drinks, possibility to open 2 windows for cooling.

Cons:

For some reason air ventilation seemed to be OFF. Aisles, stairs and corridors very warm and stagnant air. We tested draft from shower vent and nothing, so I guess its better to have windows open. It is weird since you would think there is no reason to have a new building get excess moisture.

Huippuhelppo ja mukava
Pros:

Hyvä perusaamiainen. Helmipuuro Lapin marjoilla oli todella hyvä ja croissantit myös.
Vanhasta pankkitalosta remontoitu viimeisen päälle hotelli. Sisustuksessa oli paljon aitoa puuta ja viilua.
Sänky oli tosi hyvä ja huoneen sai pimennetyksi ja ilmalämpöpumppu viilensi huoneen ennen nukkumaanmenoa. Auton sai ihan oven eteen.

Pros:

Kompakti toimiva huone kahdelle hengelle saunan kera hotellin erillisessä rakennuksessa. Huoneen sisustus ja käytännöllisyys hyvin ja esteettisen kauniisti suunniteltu. Voi suositella muillekin.

Cons:

Rakennuksen kulahtanut ulkonäkö ensin säikäytti, että mitähän sisältä löytyy.
