Greta

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was well cleaned. In spite of that it was a superior room, there was only one chair in this 2-bed room. In the lobby there was only very low chairs/sofas so that an older/retired person had to stand and could not sit anywhere.

Fint läge

Tycker det var bra, god frukost med mycket att välja på. Fin uteplats. Rummet var rent o fint. Det jag saknade var en plattare kudde, gillar inte att ha högt under huvudet när jag ska sova. Lite lyhört ( smälldes i dörrar).
