Kunde varit bättre.
Kom 3h för tidigt och kunde inte få rum pga städning, Okey. När vi kom tillbaka och checka in var det inte städat. Bland annat hitta vi chockolad på golvet. Tillhör att vi hade djurrum, vår hund var nära att äta upp de. Bi påpekade och det skrevs upp. Vet inte vad som hänt med det.
Frukosten var ojämn. Ena dagen kanon, nästa dag var det helt annat.
Garagen och passagen är dåligt anpassade. De flesta tog 1.5 platser för sina bilar för linjer var så utsuddade. Trappor och dörrar som inte stannar uppe så var svårt med bagaget. Trill nästan när vi gick första gången då trappan var precis på andra sidan dörren. Inga speglar för att se om fordon/gående finns runt hörnet. Överlag kunde behöva en upprustning och en jämnare kvalitet.
