I think the overall service was nice, but the place was not. Especially the hotel restaurant had wonderful service. Hotel itself was old, well in need of some redoing. There was dust between the windows, like it was cleaned 2 years ago. Also the view to Stora Enso power plant isn't that great tbh :D

Huone oli sopivan kokoinen ja siisti. Kylpyhuoneen suihkukoppi oli hieman ahtaantuntuinen. Aamiaisella oli ruuhkaa, eikä sisälle mahtunut syömään. Söimme ulkona terassilla, sattui vaan kovin tuulinen aamu. Onneksi juuri silloin ei satanut. Aamiainen itsessään oli loistava! Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Auton parkkipaikka ilmainen ja riittävästi paikkoja.

Huoneissa ja hotellissa on ajan patinaa. Ei liikaa, mutta huomattavasti. Kaikki toimi, huoneessa oli jopa ilmastointi tai ainakin se pysyi viileänä, sekä jopa oma sauna. Todella tilava oli myös. Erillisessä makuuhuoneessa ei tosin ollut ainuttakaan pistorasiaa, respasta saimme jatkojohdon tätä paikkaamaan. Parkkipaikat on todella hyvin saavutettavissa.
