Helt ok, men inte trestjärnigt

Helt OK för företagsresa, men allmänna korridoren hade massor av trasig lampor och några som tillochmed blivit utslitna ur väggfästen. Sängen var inte jätteskön men fungerade att sova på. Otroligt varmt på rummen, även fast det är på höstkanten, tacksam att jag fick en fläkt från personalen. Flertalet hål i väggarna från skruv och plugg i rummet, utslitna fläckiga möbler. Kollegan min hade en minikyl som inte fungerade, och mitt rum saknade en helt. Handdukar hade varit trevligt att få utbytta halvvägs igenom vistelsen, men det blev inte så. Hotellets tv kanaler saknade ljud på ungefär hälften av dem. Frukosten var son förväntat, med trevlig personal och schysst utbud, samt att läget var helt toppen. Önskar att mer pengar investeras i fastighetens underhåll
