this is essentially a best western, no real amenities, breakfast was better than we thought it would be, room has limited space, bathroom is very dated. somewhat off the more popular area of town
Rundown hotel, not really up to Scandics standards. No room temperature regulation possible. Very hot in the room. Beds of rather poor quality.

Hotell i behov av ansiktslyft.
På minussidan:
Lyhört mellan rummen. Långsam incheckning. Massor av hundar i vår korridor, hade uppskattat att få information om det och möjlighet att få rum i annan del.
På plussidan:
Trevligt med lekrum för barnen. Helt ok frukost. Bra läge, stort restaurangutbud i närheten.
Svajigt varmvatten i dusch och kran.
Toadörren knarrade så min dotter vaknade när jag gick på toa.
Smutsigt golv. Kladdig tv- kontroll.
Frukost ok men de serverade en möglig ananas.. Ser man inte att den är helt rutten?
Bra hotell, god frukost. Slitet och litet gym, tv spräckt och ett löpband sönder. Skylt att man ska vänta innan man sätter sig vid frukosten. Ingen personal kom med vänliga andra gäster som sa att det bara är att gå in, de väntade också länge. Så inget fel på hotell och frukost, men behöver jobba med dessa saker som drar ner helhetsintrycket.

Bra frukost och husdjursvänligt. I behov av uppfräschning
Sliten byggnad, lite äckligt toaletten med suboptimalt städning. Vaknade mitt i natten med någon som ropade ”spy! spy!” på gatan bredvid (d.v.s dålig ljudisolering). Bra läget mitt i stan (fast Jönköping inte är kanske en megalopolis) och ganska bra frukost. Inte värt pengarna i allmänt. Skulle rekommendera att sluta med ”boka frukost dagen innan” systemet, det är bara jobbigt och stressig.
