We needed to stay one night in this little city, known for the Zorn museum and the Vasaloppet (50 miles skiing), and the Kung Gosta seemed to fit the bill. ||||But it didn't quite fit our bill. Wet, slippery ice all over the place. From parking lot to entrance door. I think that is even against the law in Sweden. It should be.||||Asked the girl in the reception if she could spread some sand and then went to move the car closer to the entrance so my wife could get in. There was no sand available! And there were no signs of sand being used this winter. ||||We got in and then our friends phoned and warned us about the wet ice. Nice, but too late. When we got back at around midnight, still no sand. ||||It was only next morning that sand was being spread with a machine - but still no sand in the bins. We are glad to still have our hip bones intact. ||||Rooms OK. Swimming pool at 100 F (37 C, that is) and that isn't quite what we like. Bacteria grow and thrive at that temperature. ||||Breakfast OK, but don't put bacon in a tight pot. It gets soft and loses all crispiness. Only hard-boiled egg available, no soft boiled ones. ||||Staff nice and friendly. That's almost always the case in this part of Sweden. But they seem to be more used to skiers than to elderly people.||||Could write messages in the dust on the room mirror. Not used to that.
