Kiitos Tomi vierailustasi ja palautteesta! Hienoa kuulla, että olet viihtynyt hyvin Kimmelissä! Pahoittelut tieremontin aiheuttamasta epäselvyydestä. Pysäköinti toimii kuitenkin normaalisti tieremontin ajan ja myös hotellin pihaan voi aina ajaa. Lämpimästi tervetuloa uudelleen ja mukavaa alkusyksyä!

Hotellin edessä on työmaa joka aiheutti kovaa melua heti aamusta aikaisin. Tervetuliaisina huoneen pöydällä odotti korvatulpat.
