Resa med vänner

Var låst när vi kom på em, fick ringa tre samtal till olika nummer för att komma in. Fanns inget kaffe/te på rummet, var ej påfyllt. Dålig information om att kunna öppna fönstret, måste ha nyckel för att öppna. Våra vänner hade ingen nyckel, rummet var supervarmt på natten. Var flaska o ölburk kvar när vi kom in på rummet efter andra gäster.

Vi är återkommande gäster på hotellet och ser detta som det självklara valet i Motala. Den enda nackdelen kan vara att det är lyhört men överlever man det så är det perfekt! ☺️
