Matala tyyny ?
Kokemuksemme oli kaikinpuolin myönteinen. Olin matkalla lapsenlapseni kanssa ja osallistuimme hänen toiveestaan toritapahtumaan. Siksi hotellin sijainti meille oli mitä mainioin. Majoituimme astmaatikolle sopivaan siistiin perushuoneeseen. Suomen kaikissa hotelleissa saisi olla varustuksena myös matala tyyny niiden joillekin sopivien super pulleiden lisäksi. Osaan itse kuitenkin nukkua ilman tyynyäkin, joten tuo ei haitannut mukavaa matkaamme.

Hyvä perustason huone
Hotellihan ei ollut aivan uusi, mutta huone silti aivan ok. Aamiainen normaali hyvä Sokos-standardi. Vuode ehkä aavistuksen pehmeä, mutta ei silti nukkumista haitannut.
