Looked like a very popular family vacation Scandic next to a lake. Now of season it was very quiet. Clean and quiet with friendly service. No bacon at breakfast was a big minus.

Rooms were clean, if you want to clean them more often you need to place a request. Food was pretty good....first few days. Then you will start to have enough, no changes on breakfast, still exactly the same.  Afternoon I went for a beer and after first one waitress ignore my empty glass for 25 minutes. Then I left. Restaurant was nearly empty.

Lobby, restaurant and breakfast was good. Room - not. Old and with not cozy at all. Didnt wantes to stay in the room for a long time. They had a playroom for kids, which was closed. So no attractions for kids. View around lake is beautiful, lake and nature. But unfortunately outside only few old benches to sit and enjoy the view. This hotel has very good location and a lot of possibilities to be very good and nice place for people, but dont use it sandly.
