Hotell i behov av ansiktslyft. På minussidan: Lyhört mellan rummen. Långsam incheckning. Massor av hundar i vår korridor, hade uppskattat att få information om det och möjlighet att få rum i annan del. På plussidan: Trevligt med lekrum för barnen. Helt ok frukost. Bra läge, stort restaurangutbud i närheten.

Bra hotell, god frukost. Slitet och litet gym, tv spräckt och ett löpband sönder. Skylt att man ska vänta innan man sätter sig vid frukosten. Ingen personal kom med vänliga andra gäster som sa att det bara är att gå in, de väntade också länge. Så inget fel på hotell och frukost, men behöver jobba med dessa saker som drar ner helhetsintrycket.
