Ett fint och bra hotell som kan bli ännu bättre!

Hotellet ligger väldigt trevligt och centralt, vi bodde i spabyggnaden. Trevlig byggnad med fina rum, tyvärr hördes musiken från spaet i rummet från tidig morgon till kl 22.40 (lite enformigt, även om det var låg volym). Efter klockan 22 började man att städa spaet för att stänga, då öpnades dörrarna och slogs igen varje minut i 45 min. Det fanns aircondition i rummet, men det var ändå väldigt varmt. Det tog 20 min att checka ut, då den ena personen hade datastrul och den andra skulle hämta badrock i källaren samt leta upp en nyckel till ett försäljningsskåp som hon inte hittade. Parkeringen är bra, gott om plats. Vi försökte framföra lite förslag med förbättringar, men det var inget som uppskattades i receptionen.

Mysigt och fräsch SPA-avdelning

Trevligt hotell med fräsch SPA-avdelning med lite soft musik, rekommenderas. God mat och fräsch frukost. Rymligt rum med balkong/terass, dock lite dammigt och bara några lampor fungerade i rummet. Toppen med kylskåp på rummet. Utomhusrestaurangen mysig också, dock har de mycket fåglar där som bajsar på stolarna. Vi tittade ändå noga innan vi satte oss, när vi reste oss hade min man fågelbajs på skjortans rygg på flera ställen...syntes inte på de svarta stolarna
