Siisti, ok sÀngyt ja hyvÀ sijainti. Huoneessa on jostain kÀsittÀmÀttömÀstÀ syystÀ vÀrillinen lasi-ikkuna kylpyhuoneeseen, joten kun vessaan sytyttÀÀ valon niin valaisee koko huoneen ja herÀttÀÀ seuralaisen. Aamiaisella ei saa espressoa tai capuccinoa edes maksamalla, vaikka kone heillÀ on, se ei vain ole pÀÀllÀ aamiaisella. Aivan typerÀÀ.

Matala tyyny ?

Kokemuksemme oli kaikinpuolin myönteinen. Olin matkalla lapsenlapseni kanssa ja osallistuimme hÀnen toiveestaan toritapahtumaan. Siksi hotellin sijainti meille oli mitÀ mainioin. Majoituimme astmaatikolle sopivaan siistiin perushuoneeseen. Suomen kaikissa hotelleissa saisi olla varustuksena myös matala tyyny niiden joillekin sopivien super pulleiden lisÀksi. Osaan itse kuitenkin nukkua ilman tyynyÀkin, joten tuo ei haitannut mukavaa matkaamme.
