The hotel was locked down from early night until 8 pm. No service and very difficult to get to the parkinglot. Not even coffee was available before 8 am. "Unusual" service and openinghours.

Nice property but lousy laundry facility.

We especially chose this property because it had self service laundry facilities. However, the machine was small and slow. It took 2 hours to wash one load so very inadequate. An upgrade in this area would greatly improve this property. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was small but clean. We would consider staying here again.

Exploring the area

Two of my grandparents emigrated from this area 100 years ago. This hotel was a convenient homebase for exploring the area. The hotel had a lot of amenities that we did not use - everything from pool table to sauna. The room was small as was the bathroom. The space for hanging clothes was inadequate for us because we were on a two week vacation. The hallway to our room seemed dark.

Do not trust the ratings of this hotel

I picked this hotel because of the nice rating on Hotels.com. This is a very ordinary three star hotel, rather old and bad location. Nothing horrible, but I simply cannot beleive that this rating is generated in a honest way.

Märkligt/gnidigt att parkeringen kostar 50kr/natt. I synnerhet eftersom alla intilliggande garor har fri parkering. Vem betalar få för hotellets parkering 25 m närmare. För att slippa snålhetsstämpeln vore det väl bättre att baka in den 50-lappen i hotellpriset?
