My room was on the 5th floor under the roof. The whole night, there was a humming sound that caused me to wake up several times. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The daily cleaning was below average, and they just replaced the towels daily.

Huoneen sisäilmassa oli ongelma. Outo haju ja pää tuli kipeäksi oleskelun aikana. Huone oli muutenkin aika karu.
Aamiainen oli hyvä ja aamiaisravintola oli viihtyisä.
Iso kontrasti huoneen ja aamiaisen välillä

Ystävällinen ja huomioiva henkilökunta. Myös aamiaisella, joka oli loistava, kuten aiemminkin. Vaikka hotelli oli täynnä, palvelu toimi ja maksuton pysäköintikin järjestyi taas. Huone oli siisti ja asiallisesti huolehditun oloinen wc- tilakin, uusittuine silikonisaumoineen jne. Kaikkineen erittäin positiivinen kokemus jälleen.
