Poor Food, Lovely room
The Room was fine, all the activities for kids was great. But the evening menu was very poor. The beef filled have the size of the bun, the ketchup was selfinvented and tasted mostly like pure tomato pure, not kid friendly.. Just a poor experience dinning

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.

Ok hotell
Det var veldig varmt på rommet, men det var usedvanlig varme dager i Sverige. Vi fikk to vifter på rommet, men det var fortsatt varmt.
Menyen i restauranten var enkel, men ok. Vannet i bassenget var iskaldt.

Besviken
Dåligt. Svårt att få parkering. Smutsigt rum. Fick en fläkt för att kunna vara i rummet når det var varmt ute, det var fruktansvärt varmt.

Mycket varmt. Men fönster kunde öppnas. Så det var inget problem.
Golvbrunn borde rengöras. Vattnet rann ut för sakta.

Nöjd men varm
Allt finns som en familj kan tänkas behöva, poolen var mycket uppskattad. Hade fått fullt betyg om det hade funnits solfilm, markis eller AC, för det har varit fruktansvärt varmt i rummen nu när det varit 25-30 grader om dagarna.
