The overall experience was just fine. They didn’t have parking available in the middle of the week, the thermostat didn’t work correctly and it was extremely cold inside during summer. Otherwise the hotel was fine.

Bra hotell for folk på ferie

Et bra hotel med det en trenger, men nå på sommeren så åpner ikke frokost før kl. 07.30 dette er alt for dårlig for alle som er på jobb reise, vi var 10-15 stk som stod å ventet på at det skulle åpne og det var ikke snakk om å få slippe inn litt før🙈😡
