Hei ja ikävä kuulla, ettei saapuminen toiminut odotusten mukaan. Ihmisiähän tässä kaikki vain olemme ja joskus saattaa kiireessä hieman tehokkuus mennä asiakaspalvelunkin edelle. Pyritään tsemppaamaan tässä!

Hyvä paikka yöpyä. Keskellä palveluja. Aamupalalla ei tarjolla pekonia vaikka kyltissä luki.

Hei Jari!Kiitos palautteestasi. Mukava kuulla, että hotellin sijainti oli majoittumisenne kannalta hyvä.Pahoittelut, että pekoni oli päässyt loppumaan juuri aamiaisella ollessanne. Toivottavasti aamiainen muilta osin kuitenkin täytti odotuksenne :)Mukavaa syksyn jatkoa!

Pidän hotellin sijainnista ja olen majoittunut siellä aikaisemminkin. Huoneet siistejä ja tällä kertaa sain jopa isomman huoneen kuin olin varannut. Alakerran baari myös mainio ja hyvä palvelu. Maittava aamiainen. Suosittelen.
