Vi hade en fantastisk vistelse som familj med två små barn. Hotellet var mycket barnvänligt, personalen var hjälpsam och trevlig, och rummet var både rent och bekvämt. Perfekt läge och allt fungerade smidigt under hela vistelsen. Vi är supernöjda och kommer gärna tillbaka!
Just 2 days for a short visit to Småland NE. The hotell was OK, But the buffé on Sunday night was not worth the money.
Chargin my car was easy. The location very good.
