Poor value for what it is
This is an OK, slightly average hotel, but very overpriced for what it is. The surrounding "Kalevala park" is also frankly neglected, and has surely seen better days. The hotel is in a spectacular natural setting, but there are other signs of under-investment, such as the pier that is close to falling away into the lake. I'm not too fussy a traveller and wouldn't normally mind, but the value for money just isn't here in this case. And sauna -- which is usually open to all guests and included in the room rate at most Finnish hotels, and certainly all hotels in this price category -- is NOT included, as we very unpleasantly found out upon checking out. There was no posting anywhere in the hotel of such "rates" for the sauna, and the hotel staff even cheerfully offered us a sauna turn, without bothering to tell us of the very substantial charge to our bill that would result. That's the sort of behaviour that cannot be forgiven. The cracked, slightly run-down charms of the hotel are real, but the management is less than forthcoming with its guests -- and clearly more interested in fleecing them than investing in the property.
