Ok for a night or two.
Nice 4-person family room. Included breakfast mediocre, but eatable.
Some issues with the electronic keys for both rooms rented (2 out of 8 keys were functional, with keys for one of the two rooms totally not working), but easy to switch to new ones, where 50% worked.

Cold and noicy
The walls in the rooms are paper, so you can hear every noice from the whole hotell and the streets in to your room. Because of this, it might be hard to sleep. The temperature in the room was pretty cold, so had to sleep with clothes on. I know it was cold outside and i live in Finland so thats not a new thing to me, but i have never had that cold at home in the winters.

Siisti, iso hotellihuone, johon 4-henkinen perhe lasketteluvarusteineen mahtui hyvin. Rinteet ja ravintolat ihan vieressä, sijainti ei olisi voinut olla parempi!

Huone oli muuten mieleinen, mutta kattovalaisimien puuttuessa huone oli todella pimeä. Sängyn yläpuolella tai olohuoneessa ei ollut kattovalaisinta.
Aamupala oli ok, mutta melko suppea

Rukan pikavisiitti
Siisti huone keskeisellä paikalla. Vuode on hyvä.
Aamiainen huono ja suppea. Ei huonekohtaista itse säädettävää ilmastointia vaikka se oli huoneen valinnan kriteeri.

Ihan oorrait.
Huoneessa sälekaihtimet eivät toimineet.Siisteys oli ok.Aamupalalla olisi saanut olla enemmän valikoimaa.esim.nakkeja,pekonia, hedelmiä yms. jota normaalisti on saatavilla.Mukava oli kuitenkin pyörähtää yhden yön reissu.

Majoitus hotellissa
Missään ei kerrortu, että klo 17 respa menee kiinni. Baarista piti lasten kanssa hoitaa sisään kirjautuminen. Tosi kuiva huoneilma, lattiasta tikkuja jalkoihin. Aamupala oli aika suppea ja erikoisruokavalioita ei oltu huomioitu. Plussana sijainti oli hyvä, auton sai oven eteen pakkausta varten. Mutta lämpötolppapaikkaa ei ollut, eikä henkilökunta osannut kertoa missä asiakaspaikat autolle on.

Hyvä majoitus
Hotelli oli muuten erinomainen, mutta huoneessa oli muutama sokeritoukka.
