Boende ok. MEN vi bad om en öl i baren 21.45 när vi kom fram. Sa att vi kunde avslita på 10-15 minuter. Personalen kvar men sa att det var stängt. Två andra personer där som avslutade sin mat och dryck. I övrigt ok.

The room was well cleaned. In spite of that it was a superior room, there was only one chair in this 2-bed room. In the lobby there was only very low chairs/sofas so that an older/retired person had to stand and could not sit anywhere.
