Summary: Really great amenenties with the sauna, hot tub and bikes. Room and bathrooms clean. Wall are thin so heard a lot of walking around and movement but the hotel does a good job of strongly reminding everyone to be quiet during sleeping hours and everyone was curteous about that. Great location. Nice staff and early drop off of luggage was allowed which was helpful.
