Breakfast was excellent, rooms were clean, sauna was good to use

Pool wasn't very clean and was very cold, house keeping wakes you up about 7-8am everyday unless you put up the do not disturb sign.

missed reservation

The hotel had a nice aesthetic appeal.

I am outraged by the shoddy service and lack of communication. The staff's apathy was appalling. My requests were ignored and keycards were missing at check-in. The whole experience seemed like a nightmare with unhelpful personnel and no accountability.

The staff were super friendly and cute . We got an awesome personalized welcome card in our room with some snacks which was a nice touch.

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly, but still acceptable.
