Especially the hotel restaurant had wonderful service. Hotel itself was old, well in need of some redoing. There was dust between the windows, like it was cleaned 2 years ago.

Pimennysverhot oli - hyvä - mutta ne oli myös rikki ja vaati askartelua saada kohdalleen. Sängyt ja tyynyt suht ok. Hieman retrotunnelma, ei haitaksi asti. Omaleimainen ehkä.
