Hyvä Hotelli
Hyvä sijainti, huone rauhallinen ja hiljainen, vaikka takapihalla Livingroom -baari ja sen iso screeni, niin mitään ei kuulunut huoneeseen. Hotellin edestä pääsi kätevästi sekä HoppInn-Off -kiertoajelubussiin että lentokenttäbussiin. Aamupalan sai erikseen ostaa, ei kuulunut huoneen hintaan.

Hyvä hotelli
Sijainti oli erinomainen, Rauhallinen hotelli, siisti ja kukkarolle edullinen. Hissejä riittävästi, ei joutunut odottamaan. Sopii hyvin kaiken ikäisille.
