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.

Usch, hit vill jag aldrig igen. Personalen var det verkligen inget fel på tvärtom super trevliga allihopa. Men städningen var under all kritik. Toan hade papper kvar i botten och sängen hade blodfläckar hock långa svarta hårstrån samt smulor i sig. Väldigt lyhört man hör allt som händer i hotellet och grannarna som har tv på.helt ok frukost fanns inte jättemycket men endå ett bra utbud men inget extra.
