Vinland Hotel and Lounge

10/10 Excellent
"Great room in a perfect location. Finally, a hotel with good water pressure! I appreciated the coffee and cold water available in the lobby. Hotel is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the tub was not usable as it didn’t have a stopper. As a mom with little kids you often prefer to bathe them than to assist them in a shower getting yourself wet in the process. There was only one outlet next to one bed and the pool was very cold. And if little boys say it was cold, you know it was cold! It said “heated” but it was really cold. Also, no towels at the pool. Staff was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again!"
