Rummet var OK, allt man behövde fanns. Men det var instängt och luktade plastigt och hade nog mått bra av en uppdatering (tapeter o möbler). Men helt OK. Receptionisterna var vänliga. Restaurangen på hotellet hade supergod mat!

We could sleep quite good in the beds. It was a quite room to the back of the hotel. Unfortunately no moskitonets at the windows and plenty of moskitos tried to come in when we would like a cold prise from outside. The front desk personal wouldnt be able to say "Hej" any time of the day. The young breakfast staff was very friendly. Maybe you should start cleaning the entre downstairs. It didnt happen one time during our stay. You had to pass the restaurant breakfast area every time, although the dog wasnt allowed to be there. Strange. Small pool, good breakfast. We had dinner at "Salted kitchen". Great food and good music, especially the band "seaside".

När vi skulle checka in hamnade vi i en läng kö i entrétrappen. Det visade sig vara kön till restaurangen. Hade varit bra att tydliggöra att incheckningen låg längre in och där var ingen kö. Hotellet och restaurangen var helt ok men rummet hade behövt lite uppfräschning. Stolarna inne i frukostmatsalen var slitna och hade med fördel kunnat rengöras högst upp på ryggstödet. Gav ett smutsigt intryck. Frukosten var jättebra och har egentligen inget att klaga på.
