Rauhallinen, siisti hotelli. Henkilökunta ammattitaitoista ja ystävällistä.
Vessan lattia häiritsi hieman, oli kovin kylmä.
Aamupalatarjoilu yltäkylläinen. Pöytien likaisista astioista tyhjentäminen kovin hidasta, mikä häiritsi aamupalaa.

Palvelu jo hotellille saavuttaessa oli erittäin mukavaa, missään aiemmin ei ole otettu asiakasta niin hyvin huomioon. Huone oli siisti ja huoneen teeman sai valita itse.
Aamupala oli laadukas ja kaikki kaikki tarpeellinen löytyi.
Kuntosalikin oli hotellin saliksi ok.
