Personalet var hjelpsomme men til tider litt for få på jobb, eksempelvis i resepsjonen og under frokosten. Frokosten var bra, men som nevnt litt for få personer til å rydde og til å fylle på mat og pålegg. At frokosten startet kl 0800 helgene var for seint for oss. I ukedagene starter frokosten kl 0630. Bra med gratis parkering ved hotellet, hvis man er heldig å finne ledig plass.

Ett väldigt fint boende med mycket bra personal. Hotellet ligger väldigt fint också. Tyvärr upplevde vi att det slarvades lite, t.ex. hade båda gardinerna släppt från sina fästen, kaffe fylldes inte på till morgon nr 2, även frukosten fylldes på lite dåligt. En väldigt fin uteplats med boule och andra ’leksaker’ fanns men det kändes som om detta lämnats kvar ute sen i höstas och såg inte så roligt ut nu.

Mycket trivsam vistelse. Gammal byggnad så rummen hade höga fönster, högt i tak. Frukosten var en upplevelse. Stort utbud och smakfullt serverat. Trevligt bemötande från all personal. Återvänder gärna till denna lilla pärla till hotell.
