Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Good location with free parking. Just 20 minutes by bus to the city centre with frequent day and night services. Enjoyed the sauna and pool.
Negative: Stayed in a twin room where the bed had wheels that caused it to move while turning during sleep. Noise from other rooms was noticeable, and the pillows were poor quality, leaving neck pain the next day.
Summary: Good location, poor bedding
