I think the overall service was nice, but the place was not. Especially the hotel restaurant had wonderful service. Hotel itself was old, well in need of some redoing. There was dust between the windows, like it was cleaned 2 years ago. Also the view to Stora Enso power plant isn't that great tbh :D

Erityisesti arvostan yhden hengen huonetta, jossa on yksi vuode. Huone oli viihtyisä ehkä juuri sen takia. Kahden vuoteen huone yhdelle on jotenkin loukkaavaa. Huone oli siisti, henkilökunta huumorintajuista.

Huone oli erittäin siisti ja sänky mukava. Hotelli on jo jonkin ikäinen, joka näkyy. Aamiainen oli erinomainen ja kuuden minuutin munat olivat parhaat missään syömäni; valkuainen hyytynyt ja keltuainen sopivan löysä. Vastaanoton palvelu oli todella hyvä. Viihdyimme.

Enemmän Oscareita elämään

Huoneessa oli todella kuuma, mutta ottaen huomioon ennätys helteet, se ei yllätä. Kaipailimme kuitenkin hieman ilmastointia. Huone itsessään oli siisti perushuone. Erityis kiitos ravintolalle! Ruoka oli ehdottomasti parasta, jota tänä kesänä olemme syöneet, sekä henkilökunta oli aivan mahtavaa ja ystävällistä. Tämä kattaa siis koko hotellin henkilökunnan.

Suurimmat epäkohdat

Huone parhaimmat päivänsä aikoja sitten nähnyt, joten hinta/latusuhde heikko. Suurin miinus ilmastoinnin puute helteillä. Kylpyamme ihan kiva, mutta siihen pääsy korkeista laidoista johtuen varmasti tuottaa ongelmia monelle. Pelkässä suihkussa käyminen ammeen pohjalla todella hankalaa.
