Not a good first impression, but got better

Arriving to the hotel was not so friendly, slow action and almost unfriendly in the reception. I felt I was there for the official and not the opposite. But the room, the breakfast and other things worked well.

Ympäristöystävällisyyttä lisäisi nestesaippua palasaippuan sijaan. Palasaippuasta jää aina jäljelle iso osa, eikä sitä toivottavasti kierrätetä enää uudelleen seuraavalle asiakkaalle.

Recommendation to Holiday Inn

Room was nice, clean, and spacious. Bed comfy (even softer vs firmer pillows to choose from). There were table and chair for working, which was good. And as a cherry on the top; even a little couch for just chilling. Thank you, it was a very comfortable stay.
