Uniqueness was located by the Gota canal & locks. Very near the museum about the Canal which was very good. What I didn't like was the communal washrooms & showers. Perhaps a separate toilet for the restaurant patrons would help.

Smultronställe

Ett nytt smultronställe som vi hittade. Vackert beläget vid Göta Kanal utanför Motala. Personalen var trevlig och behjälplig. Rummet mysigt och enkelt, sängarna var helt ok. Hit kommer vi tillbaka.

Mysigt och perfekt läge, allt bra! Men säng borde vara i bättre skick. Både själva sängen men också bäddmadrassen har gjort sitt och borde bytts ut för länge sedan.
