PrisvÀrt boende i Motala

Bra hotell nĂ€ra Motala centrum. Trevlig personal, snabb och enkel check in/checkout, bra och fritt wifi. Ingen hiss i byggnaden, bra att tĂ€nka pĂ„ om man har svĂ„rt för att gĂ„ i trappor, i sĂ„ fall boka rum pĂ„ bottenvĂ„ningen. Bra frukost, fanns allt man behövde i trevlig miljö. Fint, rent men varmt rum, litet kylskĂ„p pĂ„ rummet, komfortabla sĂ€ngar. Parkering pĂ„ gatan alternativt pĂ„ systerhotellet om hotellets P Ă€r full, inga problem att bli av med bilen. Överlag bra stĂ€lle

Trevligt hotell men tyvÀrr mycket slitet rum.

Frukosten och allmÀnna utrymmen var bra. Gratis parkering gÀller endast ett fÄtal platser. VÄrt rum lÄg i suterÀngplan och var tyvÀrr mycket dÄligt underhÄllet. DÄlig ventilation, ej öppningsbart fönster, slarvigt upphÀngda mörklÀggningsgardiner, eluttag tejpade och lösa sladdar pÄ golvet. Bilderna pÄ rum motsvarar definitivt inte det rum vi fick.
