Retro, awkward and slightly odd spa hotel

Extremely retro/out-dated spa hotel. Was a unique timecapsule experience, but the main building is in desperate need of renovations. Pool facilities are mediocre but was ok for a swim and some splashes with the family for a small amount of time. The family room had a bizzare loft bed hanging from the ceiling with no way to get on to it but jump up - not very convenient and difficult for kids. Nothing like the description or photo. Room lock system also was usually not working as cards didnt unlock the door easily. Not a horrible experience but won't likely visit again.

Hotellin ikä vähän näkyy, mutta kylpyläosasto oli yllättävän hyvä. Harmi,, että allasbaari ei ollut laajemmin auki. Savusauna ja Jätkäntuvan osingon oli erinomainen iltaohjelma. Luontopolku oli myös hirvi. Bussilla keskustaan pääsi tosi kätevästi ja lipun maksaminen lähimaksulla oli helppoa. Studiohuoneen iso telkkari oli oudossa paikassa. Väliovet tosin huoneisiin vähän ttylsä.

Aamupalalta puuttui pekoni. Munakokkeli ei maistunut hyvältä. Eikö mitään hedelmiä tai herkkuja ollut. Helteillä hotelli oli tosi lämmin. Onneksi oli vielä saatavilla huone ilmalämpöpumpulla.

Yksi yö riitti

Vanhentunut hotelli, jossa huoneet olivat turkasen kuumat kesähelteillä, sillä ilmastointi oli vain osassa huoneista. Varsin mitätön aamupala eikä kylpyläkään suuria elämyksiä tarjonnut. Ylihinnoiteltu laatuun nähden. Rannan savusauna oli tosin kiva.

Ihan hyvä paikka yöpyä

Hotelli on ihan hyvä, kunhan ei ole kesähelle, sillä ilmastointia ei ole. Ilmainen ja tilava parkkialue ja pihasta lähtevä bussilinja ovat hyviä asioita. Tilat ovat jo parhaat päivänsä nähneet, mutta siisteys oli kunnossa. Kasvissyöjälle ei aamiaisella ole muuta syötävää kuin leipää, tomaattia, kurkkua, vihreää salaattia ja hilloa & marjoja. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä.
