Vi Ankom forsinket henpå natten men havde underretter hotellet.da vi ankom, var de 2 bookede og betalte værelser booket ud til andre! Vi fik tilbudt 1 værelse til 3 voksne. Vi efter klage et ekstra værelse med udsigt til mur og ikke som betalt udsigt til have. Værelset beskidt. Utæt vandhane. Lugtede kraftigt af sprøjtemiddel mod udyr. Morgenmad var ikke kontinental men minimum og uspiselig og stærkt forsinket. Ros til den unge receptionist som forgæves forsøgte at hjælpe.
