Hotellet är trevligt, men inte i relation till priset..Parkering i phus tvärs över gatan. Ingen möjlighet att ta sig direkt in i hotellet. Frukost bra, restaurangen trevlig, frukostmatsalen stor och opersonlig.. Rummet ok. Lite slitet liksom badrummet, hopplös dusch där vatten kommer över hela golvet! Trevlig o hjälpsam personal. Sen utcheckning kostar extra..
