Fit for workers and drivers

We rented a so-called family room but were disappointed. The view was great, as our room was 10 meters from the lake shore, and the people working there were nice, but the room is not fit for holiday makers. Apparently workmen and professional drivers sleep here - we found a Polish cigarette pack under the bed - and there is a mouldy smell. It is also cold and humid. Shower OK. In the summer it would be nicer but maybe not cleaner. Also, you pay seperately for the bed linen. On our second night we chose Book1 in Aarhus, where we got much better value.
