Flott hotell, nydelige ansatte som tok i mot oss og var hjelpsomme under oppholdet. Ingenting å sette fingeren på forutenom ved frokosten. Frokostutvalget var stort sett bra, men det kunne vært bedre brød til de som må ha glutenfritt, der har det kun et et fint kjøpebrød. Måtte spørre etter knekkebrød og det var ingen grove alternativer. Kakeutvalget var bra for cøliakiere og maten var adskilt fra annen bakst så alt i alt var dette 9/10:)
