A bit hot in our room at night, unable to lower the temperature. Small cabin but ok for 1 night.

Majoitus oli aikalailla odotuksen mukainen. Vuoteen kapeus häiritsi kun on tottunut leveään sänkyyn. Kaipasimme laseja tai mukeja hyttiin. Siisteys ok. Aamiainen oli hyvä.

Kaikki ok edulliseen hintaan nähden. Aamiainen oikein hyvä. Mukava ja mielenkiintoinen paikka, tullaan uudestaan kyllä.

Vietin Paavo Nurmi Gamesin ja Ahvenanmaan picnicristeilyn välisen yön Boressa ja kaikki loksahti mukavasti kohdalleen suihkun lämpimän veden ongelmaa lukuunottamatta. Sijainti erinomainen, henkilökunta ammattitaitoista ja palvelualtista, yleiset tilat sekä hytti oikein siistit, muutoinkin oikein rauhallinen yöpymispaikka, jossa sai kunnolla nukuttuakin. Aamiainenkin oli monipuolinen, joten hyvä maku jäi tästä lyhyestä visiitistä Aurajoen rannalle.

Muuten kaikki hyvin, mutta sänky liian lyhyt kaksimetriselle ja suihkut aika ankeat.
