The place is fine, I just used it as a stop on road trip. The only problem was a long wait to check in as staff are also serving in restaurant. Suggest not checking in at meal times.

Allt var bra, toppen att vi fick bo i källaren med en in-utgång direkt på gården pga att vi hade hunden med oss. Påläggen vid frukosten, inte all pålägg, men vissa var inte så fräscha sista dagen. Kunde ha fått lite mer information om själva hotellet vid ankomsten. Är mycket nöjd, tack!

Worn-down hotel with unfriendly staff
Building was overall worn down and in dire need of an upgrade. Restaurants at the hotel were ok but charged very high prices as there are little to no alternatives nearby.
