Decent hotel in pleasant town

Good hotel other than the smell in the bathroom was unpleasant. Suspect there was a blockage somewhere. Room otherwise more than adequate.

Fint hotel med veldig hyggelige ansattr.

Vi hadde 2 rom. Ene rommet fungerte ikke kjøling/ac, men hotellet hadde satt frem en vifte. Veldig hyggelig ansatte, fint hotel og veldig god frokost. Ligger veldig lokalt i byen. Vi booket boblebadet, men til vår skuffelse så fungerte verken boblene eller varmen. Men vi hadde badet for oss selv, så det gikk helt fint.
