slow elevators temperature control
The breakfast was great (especially the options). The room was clean.
The elevators were slow, i waited quite a long time during peak hours. My room lacked temperature control, something i really missed. The noise and air blowing in my face while i was in bed were annoying. (i wish i could turn it off.)

Acceptable Stay with a Disappointing Issue

The breakfast buffet offered a satisfying variety of options.
I found the lack of on-site parking inconvenient, especially since it was advertised as available. This forced me to incur extra expenses, as I had to pay for parking elsewhere at a rate of 300-400 NOK per day. I feel this misrepresentation is unacceptable.
