"The room is big and clean. The family room I booked has microwave, kettle, plates and silverware. The price is reasonable. Supermarket, restaurants, walking streets, and bus station are all around at the corner. The location is right in the city. There is no reception. Check the email for the code to enter the hotel and the room. No ac but no need to worry about it. I went in August which is their summer but it’s cold like fall in NY. The heater was on! No free hotel parking. We got lucky park next to the hotel on Sunday which is free in Norway. The other day I believe you have to download certain app to pay for it since Norway is very digital and cashless mostly. Otherwise, I saw the parking building for a fee next door. All in all very good value"

The things may need improvement is vegan food was advertised for breakfast, but not much to eat. The bed was so soft that I had to sleep in the floor with the mattress pad only and felt much more comfortable."
