Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered nice and clean rooms for a week-long stay. However, the road-facing room was noisy, and the distance from the city center was a drawback.
The hotel was conveniently located for car travelers, close to IKEA and a gas station, making it practical for my stay. The rooms, though a bit small, were quiet and clean, a great fit for a one-night stay. Free parking was a bonus, but the noise from the road and the distance from the city center were a downside.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. The location was convenient for travelers passing through but noisy due to its proximity to the road. The rooms were decent, but being far from the city center made it less ideal for those looking to explore. Overall, a practical choice with some drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were very nice and clean. The food was nice, and although the room was quite small, it was big enough for a one-night stay. The front desk service was attentive and helpful.
The hotel is conveniently located next to Ikea on the E22 and close to the highway, making it easy to find and access. While the rooms were a bit small for dining in the same area, they served well for a one-night stay. The dining options were average but satisfactory for a quick bite. The hotel's proximity to the airport was a plus, although being situated on top of a Burger King and part of a service station might not appeal to everyone.
The hotel was clean and comfortable, with nice food, but the noise from the road was a downside due to its distance from the city center. The service was satisfactory, although the location, though practical, was a bit tricky to find on a bicycle.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms are clean and quiet, with two extra foldable beds available, making it very convenient. The location is great, close to various amenities like IKEA and a gas station, and easy access to Öland for car travelers. However, finding the entrance on a bicycle can be a bit tricky. The dining options were satisfactory, although some items, like the sweets, were substandard. On a positive note, the service was excellent, with housekeeping, laundry, a welcome drink, and pet amenities offered.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was practical for me and allowed for some shopping, being close to IKEA and a gas station was convenient for my trip. However, the room was noisy as it faced the road, was a bit small for four people, and felt a little enclosed. The dining experience was good with plenty of options, especially the American pancakes, but I had to drag my luggage through the restaurant tables to reach my room, which was a downside.
The motel offers clean and quiet rooms in a convenient location with free parking, but noise from the road may be an issue. It's a bit far from the city center.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very nice and clean, but unfortunately, our non-smoking room had a lingering smell of smoke through the window. The food served was enjoyable, but the size of the room couldn't comfortably accommodate four people.
