"Hotellet er nyopfĆørt. Dog synes vi det er en kƦmpe fejl at man deler altan med naboen. Det bĆør man adskille. Der er ikke restaurant pĆ„ stedet endnu. Der er ikke selvstƦndig parkering. Og morgenmaden lod vente pĆ„ sig 30 minutter. Vi krydsede af pĆ„ sedler hvad vi Ćønskede til morgenmad. Set ud fra hygiejnisk og madspilds synspunkt sĆ„ var det faktisk mere lƦkkert end buffet hvor alle gƦster har deres fingre i. Det vi bestilte var perfekt og lƦkkert. Kan varmt anbefale stedet til andre. Det der fĆ„r...
