"A very stylish Danish hotel. We arrived late at night and it looked quite nice with the lights on. There will be mist in the early morning of winter, which makes it difficult to take pictures. The room we booked has a very high ceiling and is quite comfortable. But the indoor stove didn’t work, and it wasn’t very good because I didn’t know how to use it. The bread for breakfast was from Olsen and it was pretty good."

"Superb hospitality, clean and relaxing. Small touches like having beach balls and fresh towels readily available at the pool made it a really lovely stay. The beds were very comfortable, with good blackout curtains and amenities in the room. The facilities were extremely clean. I loved that the staff was professional and seemed to be trained to be friendly and professional. They seemed to enjoy their work and did a really good job of helping people feel welcome."

"I checked into this hotel on Friday, so the price was 2,300, which is twice as expensive as usual. It is considered a motel in general. The decoration is American-style and parking is free. Some people have rated the breakfast very well, but I think it is very average. It only has some bread and cold boiled eggs. There is a tofu and vegetable snack. There is no bacon, sausage, or vegetables. The fruit is cantaloupe, which is quite disappointing. If around 1,000 is acceptable, then the service is considered normal."

"Just turn right from the exit of 101, it's conveniently located, a two-story building in a U-shaped shape. Overall, it's good, with large rooms, refrigerators and microwaves, and a swimming pool. But even in August, you can only go swimming at noon. You need to bring your own toiletries and slippers, and the hotel provides towels. Hot water and ice are all available in one place, which is very convenient. Motel, parking is super convenient."
