Ok stay, why no gym or mini fridge in room
Hotel is good, very good breakfast. Room was ok. My only disappointments : no mini fridge to cool something and no gym! I think for a small town like this they should make parking free
J A, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place, will stay here more often
If you take the new rooms, they are nice and compact. The TV screen is a bit out kf proportion, but I actually enjoyed the size more and more watching from bed. Food in the restaurant is good, the chef has been given a lot of freedom, this shows in a good way. Friendly people and the know how to make a good mocktail. Take the sauna. Good and relaxing place to chill with a alcohol free Heineken.

Viihtyisää asumista lähellä kaupungin keskustaa
Vastaremontoitu huone oli kauniisti valaistu ja mukava. Sängyt eivät olleet (onneksi) upottavan pehmeät, toisin kuin joissain hotelleissa. Huone oli siisti.

Hyvä yöpymiskokemus
Tyylikäs hotelli järven rannassa lähellä keskustaa. Remontti tulossa vuoden lopussa. Hyvä perinteinen aamupala.

TIMOTHY, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Matkalla pyörätuolin kanssa
Esteetön huone oli siisti ja apuvälineillä hyvin saavutettavissa. Huoneiden äänieristys on huono, muiden huoneiden äänet kuuluivat häiritsevästi seinien läpi. Muuten hotelliviikonloppu oli oikein onnistunut. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja aamupala hyvin runsas. Hotelli on pian menossa remonttiin, joten äänieristys tulee luultavasti remontin myötä parantumaan huomattavasti.

Mukava hotelli
Mukava ja hieno huone, hyvä palvelu.
Henna, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Elämyksellinen kokemus teatteri-illan jälkeen. Uskomattoman upea ja lämmin elokuun lopun ilta huipentui terassilla järven rannalla nautittuun ihanaan illalliseen. Kaikki oli kohdillaan!
