Good stay in convenient location

We had a good stay, the pool area was a bonus and the staff were great. The meals were good quality and breakfast plentiful. The beds were very soft and didn't suit us and rooms a little dated and tired. Overall a nice pleasant stay in the right location for a stop before continuing our journey.

Not a great hotel stay

I was there for three nights on business Booked a double room with balcony Room very tired, run down and needed a proper clean There were no draws anywhere in the room to put your clothes just a few hangers! Which being away for three nights is rather annoying you can’t put your clothes away properly. They don’t clean your room unless you ask, which is unusual most hotels I have stayed in you opt out rather than opt in for room cleaning each day. Hotel spa, steam room out of order- Very small facility for size of hotel The breakfast was good Location is good for parking

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Försummat rum. Mycket slitna möbler och fläckar på väggarna. På täcket låg en avklippt stortånagel och rummet var kallt. På kvällen tänkte jag ta en kopp kaffe på entreplan. Det var endast lite kvar i kannan och kaffet var inte varmt. Jag bad om nytt kaffe och receptionisten svarade att hon bryggde det precis, men att de gör 10 L kaffe åt gången och att det skulle ta lång tid innan det blev klart. Det blev att jag struntade i kaffet. Det som var positivt enligt min mening var en mjuk säng, frukosten som hade ett stort utbud, samt en rymlig och lättillgänglig parkering.
