Not a great hotel stay

I was there for three nights on business Booked a double room with balcony Room very tired, run down and needed a proper clean There were no draws anywhere in the room to put your clothes just a few hangers! Which being away for three nights is rather annoying you can’t put your clothes away properly. They don’t clean your room unless you ask, which is unusual most hotels I have stayed in you opt out rather than opt in for room cleaning each day. Hotel spa, steam room out of order- Very small facility for size of hotel The breakfast was good Location is good for parking

Close to the highway. Not the cleanest air to breathe. A definite no for people with allergies. Old wall to wall rugs. Breakfast buffet was pretty bad soggy watery omelet. Watery juice from the dispenser. Bad value for money.

För lite personal

Helt ok hotell utifrån priset. Tyvärr drog frukosten ner helhetsintrycket. Personalen jobbade på men var alldeles för få i förhållande till antalet gäster. Det mesta på ftukosten var slut och det tog lång tid innan det fylldes på, inklusive tallrikar. Ledning för hotellet måste ta större ansvar och ge ungdomarna rätt förutsättningar att kunna genomföra ett bra jobb.
