Huone oli epäsiisti ja kaipaa remonttia. Respan aula todella epäsiisti. Ystävällinen palvelu.

Kelpo yö

Vanhanaikainen kohde. Kulumaa kaikkialla pinnoissa. Perus mulavuudet kuitenkin löytyivät. Tyynyn voisi pikkuhiljaa vaihtaa oli muhkurainen. Sesonkiajasta huolimatta melko kallis yöhinta. Ohiajoa varten kuitenkin ihan ok.
