Fint läge

Tycker det var bra, god frukost med mycket att välja på. Fin uteplats. Rummet var rent o fint. Det jag saknade var en plattare kudde, gillar inte att ha högt under huvudet när jag ska sova. Lite lyhört ( smälldes i dörrar).

Guldställe

Mycket trevlig personal! Rakt av! Väldigt bra frukost och restaurangen levererade även kvällstid. Sköna sängar. Men avsaknaden av aircondition blev tydlig när det var 30 grader i skuggan. Mycket varmt på rummet. Vore det möjligt att sätta kortläsare på dörrarna längst bort från receptionen så skulle det förenkla väldigt mycket. Vi hade en del tung packning som vi var tvungna att ha med på dagarna och vi hade rum längst bort från receptionen. Men vistelsen var kanon! Kommer definitivt välja detta hotell igen. Detta mycket tack vare den fantastiska personalen.

Imøtekommende og serviceinnstilt personale

Personalet var både imøtekommende og serviceinnstilt når jeg og mitt barnebarn hadde en overnatting. Det er ikke det mest familievennlige hotellet i Scandic kjeden, da dette nok er et konferanse og ukependler hotell. Valget av hotellet ble gjort fordi det hadde innendørsbasseng, som vi benyttet. Et minus er at bassenget er åpent fra 12.00 til 22.00. I utgangspunktet kan ikke bassenget benyttes før utsjekk. På andre hotell er det mulighet for morgenbad, kanskje noe å tenke på her også .og heller holde bassenget stengt fra kl 12.00 til 16.00. Takket være en velinnstilt resepsjonist, fikk 6 åringen muligheten til å bade etter utsjekk og før avreise. Det førte til en glad 6 åring som rangerte hotellet til 4 av 5 stjerner.
