POSITIIVINEN KOKEMUS

Vietin Paavo Nurmi Gamesin ja Ahvenanmaan picnicristeilyn välisen yön Boressa ja kaikki loksahti mukavasti kohdalleen suihkun lämpimän veden ongelmaa lukuunottamatta. Sijainti erinomainen, henkilökunta ammattitaitoista ja palvelualtista, yleiset tilat sekä hytti oikein siistit, muutoinkin oikein rauhallinen yöpymispaikka, jossa sai kunnolla nukuttuakin. Aamiainenkin oli monipuolinen, joten hyvä maku jäi tästä lyhyestä visiitistä Aurajoen rannalle.

Pari puutetta.

Muuten kaikki hyvin, mutta sänky liian lyhyt kaksimetriselle ja suihkut aika ankeat.
