Kaikki ok

Perustason huone, ei mitään hienouksia mutta siistiä. Sänky oli omaan makuun turhan pehmeä, mutta sehän on makuasia. Aamiainen kuten odotinkin. Keskeinen sijainti kylällä hyvä. Luvattu kolmen tähden kokemus.

Das Hotel und auch die Zimmereinrichtung sind in die Jahre gekommen. Es war sauber, aber eine Renovierung wäre angebracht. Das Essen zu Abend im Restaurant war sehr gut. Auch das Frühstücksbüfett ließ keine Wünsche offen.

Huone oli epäsiisti ja kaipaa remonttia. Respan aula todella epäsiisti. Ystävällinen palvelu.

Kelpo yö

Vanhanaikainen kohde. Kulumaa kaikkialla pinnoissa. Perus mulavuudet kuitenkin löytyivät. Tyynyn voisi pikkuhiljaa vaihtaa oli muhkurainen. Sesonkiajasta huolimatta melko kallis yöhinta. Ohiajoa varten kuitenkin ihan ok.
