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

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.

Huone pienehkö mutta hyvin mahduttiin, siistiä, kylppäri pienesti remontin tarpeessa mutta puhdas ja kaikki toimi. Perushyvä hotelliaamiainen, myös erikoisruokavalioita otettu huomioon. Mukava henkilökunta.
