Hotel Spekeröd

Veldig OK overnatting på roadtrip!! Lett å sjekke inn, bestilte gjennom Hotels. Com og måtte ringe direkte til et oppgitt tlfnr som gav svar på det vi lurte på hotellet ligger rett ved E6, men det var stille og det passert til vårt behov! Frokost på enten Circle K eller espresso house - helt OK. Der var også en burgerking og Subway rett der en perkekt plass å overnatta dersom du vil ha en fast base eller overnatting før du kjører videre. Kan absolutt anbefales!!

Practical accommodation Easy check-in (got 4 sms with codes; better than nothing). Free parking. Very close to Circle K with chargers for el-bil and a kiosk, and to fastfood restaurants. Fridge in the room (but it doesn’t get cold). Good thing, there’s also a common fridge with freezer at the end of the hall. Needed that for my meds. As for breakfast, we went to Circle K at 8am but the staff didn’t know anything about the vouchers. She asked someone else, came back, and told us we could get a toast and a juice or a cup of coffee. She didn’t seem happy to have us, so we went to Espresso House - with a pleasant staff. We got vegetarian sandwich (not our choice), coffee, yogurt and juice. Could be better, given the price per night. Otherwise, it’s an okay stay!

Have been traveling through Europe and should spend the night and travel on the following morning. when we approached and needed to find login information and there was nothing sent to us. No SMS and no email. We called the hotel and said we have not received any information. The man said "Yes you have!". We was surprised by the man's language, since we had checked several times and there were no messages from the hotel. Not even in junk mail. He said, somewhat reluctantly, that he would resend the information, and it would take 30 sec. Since we still did not receive any messages from the hotel, we called again. There was then half an hour until the reception was supposed to close. Instead of helping us enter the code to enter the room that we had already paid for, he doesn't pick up the phone. He would also send us the information on the phone we called him. As this is at 00:30 at night, it is not easy to find any available hotel. Finally we meet a nice man at the reception at the Thon Hotel Halden in Norway who arranges accommodation for us, a extra drive of almost two hours. The next day we talk to the man at Spekerod and we are very suprised that he is rude and arrogant towards us. He takes no criticism that there were problems with the system, and will not admit that he could have fixed this the night before. We can't recommend anyone to use this hotel. Stay away!

Had to stand in the rain to get thru the front door so a small portico would help also where to park is not clear so we used the Burger King spaces as none were marked for hotel guests. Otherwise the room was fine and very quiet and breakfast was also quite good at Expresso house next door. Overall I like the concept but you need to be able to contact someone at all times so a contact number in room would help.
