Good stay in convenient location

We had a good stay, the pool area was a bonus and the staff were great. The meals were good quality and breakfast plentiful. The beds were very soft and didn't suit us and rooms a little dated and tired. Overall a nice pleasant stay in the right location for a stop before continuing our journey.

Trevlig personal och bra rum. Men till frukosten serverades rejält sur mjölk och väldigt trötta gamla tomater. Hotellet renoveras nu och det behövs faktiskt. Slitet och lite gammaldags känsla just nu. Men det blir nog bra.

Hotellet var under renoveringen och standaden väldigt låg. Utomhuspoolen var inte öppen. Det luktade verkligen inte fräscht i korridorenena med skitiga heltäckningsmattor. Personalen trevlig måltiderna ok. Men som sagt låg stäandard.
