Siisti juuri remontoitu hotelli. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.
Parkkipaikka voisi kuulua hintaan.

Good location and friendly service at reception. Sauna was closed due to covid which was a major bummer.
Fitness room was open but will be closed for a while due to renovation. Looking forward to using the new fitness room on my next trip!
