The check-in in this hotel has been terrible and still is. Too long waiting time. But the staff is very friendly. Also we could hardly notice any refurbisment except that cooling in the rooms was broken and the windows could not be opened like earlier. Very painful night, hardly any sleeping.

Hi Tarja,Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you had a long wait at check in. It is also true that the air conditioning was not working during your stay. I am very sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. Fortunately we have now managed to fix the A/C and it's working as usual. I hope that we will have you as our guest some other time and get another chance. Have a nice summer.

Hei Olli!Kiitos käynnistä ja palautteestasi! Sisäänkirjautuminen alkaa tosiaan klo 15 eteenpäin, mutta varaustilanteen mukaan huoneita on joskus mahdollista saada myös jo aiemmin. Tervetuloa uudelleen!Ystävällisin terveisin, Emma/vastaanotto

Hei Jorma!Kiitos palautteestasi. .Alkuun suuret pahoitteluni ilmastoinnin toimimattomuuden vuoksi.Äkillisen ja nopeasti eskaloituneen laiterikkoontumisen vuoksi tilanne hotellissamme on ollut juuri kuten kuvailit.Olen hyvin pahoillani, että majoituksenne ei ole sujunut odotustenne mukaan, eikä missään tapauksessa vastaa myöskään meidän tarjoamaamme tasoa. Toivon, että majoituksenne sujui muilta osin hyvin, ja saamme teidät vieraaksemme uudelleen. Ilmastointi ollaan saatu jälleen jäähdyttämään huoneita.Aurinkoista kesää!
