Matka lastenlasten kanssa onnistui hienosri, majoitus meille sopiva, yhteistilat hienot ja toimivat. Lasten leikkihuone oli kiva. Sauna olisi voinut olla pidempään auki, vaikka 21.00. Touhattiin kaupungilla nyt niin myöhään, että sauna jäi kokematta.

Rauhallinen ja siisti huone, nykyaikainen. Vain nojatuolia jäin kaipaamaan, se olisi sopinut huoneeseen hyvin. Selkärangaton ei jaksa sängynreunalla istua. Tosin suurin osa huoneessa vietetystä ajasta tuli nukuttua.

Hyväkuntoinen majoitus

Siisti, vast’ikään muutettu tai remontoitu hotellikäyttöön. Huoneessa ei omaa WCtä/suihkua. Niihin pääsee käytävätilan kautta. TV ja vedenkeitin löytyy huoneesta. Juuri sopiva yhden yön nukkumiseen.
