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.

Nice rooms. Hotel was old, and facilities mostly same, pool looked nice though we did not use it. Hotel did not inform us about renovations. Hammering started 7 a clock, on top of that the motorway outside was constantly audible. According to staff, there was literally not a room we're you could not hear it constantly.

Blev väckt 07:15 av renoveringen som pågår av de 100 rummen, dock var det ingen som informerade oss om det, endast några små skyltar i hissen och en knappt noterbar i foajén. Vi checkade in så sent och var trötta annars hade vi bytt hotell. Rummet var fräscht men resten ser ut som det stannat i 80 talet. Döttrarna undrade om det var ett nerlagt ålderdomshem. ”Spaavdelningen ” var under all kritik. Ena bastun trasig och den andra helt avstängd = iskall. Litet och trångt utrymme. Jag & maken badade i jacuzzin men hade någon mer kommit hade det verkligen blivit intrång på personliga spacet. Frukosten var dock väldigt bra! Vi kommer inte återvända hit.
