Good place to stay for a weekend

We were two girls staying for a little more than a weekend. The room was cozy and had a good kicthen with just enough supplies to make a good meal, close to nature and a good place to stay if your going by car.

Smultronställe

Ett nytt smultronställe som vi hittade. Vackert beläget vid Göta Kanal utanför Motala. Personalen var trevlig och behjälplig. Rummet mysigt och enkelt, sängarna var helt ok. Hit kommer vi tillbaka.

Mysigt och perfekt läge, allt bra! Men säng borde vara i bättre skick. Både själva sängen men också bäddmadrassen har gjort sitt och borde bytts ut för länge sedan.

Härlig boende miljö

Fantastiskt område med mycket historisk anknytning. Charmiga rum precis intill kanalen. Moderna faciliteter i en äldre bevarad miljö. Allt gott att säga om detta boende och vistelsen i sin helhet.
