Basic and quiet with comfy beds.

Stayed for one night and found the place just fine for my needs. Rooms are basic, but comfortable. Very quiet room in spite of facing the road just outside. Super comfortable bed! Friendly staff. As others have reported, there is a certain smell, but not enough to be an issue for me personally. With its convenient location, it was just what I was looking for.

Inte toppen.

Mycket enkelt och slitet motell som vi vid ankomst trodde var övergivet. Vi bodde en natt på väg till Göteborg och vi var helt ensamma på motellet så det kändes lite öde. Restaurangen skulle vara öppen till kl 19 men personalen ville gå hem 18.30 så vi fick skynda oss att äta. Varmt vitt vin till maten, men mycket god Ceasarsallad. Frukosten var en frukosttallrik med bröd, ägg, ost, skinka, yoghurt. Fint upplagd men ingen juice och vi fick fråga efter smör. Vill inte bo där igen för det priset. 1150:- Bra att vi fick parkera våra hojar under tak iaf.

Worst place I've ever stayed. Smells bad, no soundproofing and doors that slam extremely hard. Breakfast shouldn't be called breakfast. The standard does not match the price. Paid 1200 sek/night should have cost a max 500 sek. Will never stay here again.

Luktade mögel i vårt rum. I badrummet låg det använda shampoflaskor och tvålar. Nästan inget toalett papper. Frukosten var ok. Väldigt dyrt pris får den standardern.

Slitt motorhotell med hyggelig betjening.

Dette kan kalles for enkel standard. Slitt gammelt motor hotell. Men alt i alt: Sov som en sten selv om rommene var av det enkleste sort. Veldig hyggelige folk som drev stedet.
