This was a fairly nice stay for a couple of nights. The hotel staff is very friendly and the breakfast was good. The rooms and the building itself definitely need some updates. Thankfully we were on the 5th floor because the 1st and 2nd floors smelled of cigarette smoke due to a lot of people smoking outside.

Our party of 3 booked two separate rooms, but were given a single room with a fold-out sofa. Front desk staff could not resolve it, and we're awaiting a reaponse from the hotel. They also had no record of the guest who tried checking-in right before us. He had to provide his paperwork as proof of the reservation.

Bør vurdere andre alternativer..

Medioker frokost - ikke veldig spennende utvalg utover det vanlige. Frokosten stengte kl 9.30 som også er kjedelig når man har ferie og kunne tenke seg rolige morgener. Veldig kaldt bad/rom. Tildels sur betjening som ikke var så oppmerksomme eller interesserte i sine gjester. Ikke helt rent rom. Veldig lydt så man hører alle dører og andre gjester dunker og bråker. Et veldig undertrykk så det suste og trakk/blåste så kaldt på badet. Oppsummert leverte ikke dette oppholdet varene, men hotellet ligger sentralt og det er et pluss.
