Imøtekommende og serviceinnstilt personale

Personalet var både imøtekommende og serviceinnstilt når jeg og mitt barnebarn hadde en overnatting. Det er ikke det mest familievennlige hotellet i Scandic kjeden, da dette nok er et konferanse og ukependler hotell. Valget av hotellet ble gjort fordi det hadde innendørsbasseng, som vi benyttet. Et minus er at bassenget er åpent fra 12.00 til 22.00. I utgangspunktet kan ikke bassenget benyttes før utsjekk. På andre hotell er det mulighet for morgenbad, kanskje noe å tenke på her også .og heller holde bassenget stengt fra kl 12.00 til 16.00. Takket være en velinnstilt resepsjonist, fikk 6 åringen muligheten til å bade etter utsjekk og før avreise. Det førte til en glad 6 åring som rangerte hotellet til 4 av 5 stjerner.
