Bodde tre nätter och detta hotell får fullpott i betyg. Lasse med familj och personal är det bästa med boendet, så trevliga, hjälpsamma och service minded. Tjejerna som höll frukosten fixade varm mjölk så vi kunde få varm choklad. Vi åt flera av deras rätter under dessa dagar och dom får också fullpoäng. Rummen var fina, hela hotellet mysigt och stilfullt inrett. Ena sängen var lite sliten och lite spackel/målning som inte gjorts klart på rummet men det var inget som drog ner som det annars kunnat göra när man ska bedöma sin vistelse, allt tack vare personalen och allt i övrigt som var kanon! Detta hotell kommer jag tillbaka till när vi besöker folkraceveckan i Motala nästa år. Kan varmt rekommendera det!

Det var mycket var tveksamt. Stort och smått. Vi är ett par som reser mycket. Men det här hotellet höll inte. Man lovar mycket men det funkar inte. Vi stannade i två nätter. Vi fick säga till om att det saknades duschtvål, vi hade bara ett badlakan. De fyllde inte på kaffe. Men det som var mest irriterande var att vi skulle se wm- fotboll eftersom tv funkade inte. Vi sa till och ägaren sa att han skulle fixa det. När vi kom tillbaka till rummet (receptionen var stängd) funkade inte tv och inget meddelande. Nästa morgon vid utcheckning sa vi till i receptionen och hon föreslog chips (!) som kompensation. Vi tyckte att det inte räckte. Då ringde hon ägaren som lovade att via Swish kompensera oss. Efter 4 dagar så har ingen kompensation kommit. Så det lovas mycket men det funkar inte.
