The room was well cleaned. In spite of that it was a superior room, there was only one chair in this 2-bed room. In the lobby there was only very low chairs/sofas so that an older/retired person had to stand and could not sit anywhere.

Room was bigger than other hotels we stayed at in Scandinavia. Clean with nice shower. Breakfast was very good and staff were friendly. There was plenty of parking which was not the case at other hotels. Short walk to town center.
