Hotelli Aittaranta

Aittaranta is very well situated in Uusikaupunki, with restaurants and the marina right next to it. We stayed in a "superior" room with patio, it was really nice and clean. Since all rooms have their own entrances the hotel is well suited for traveling with dogs. The provided cutlery and glassware were just bare essentials but the staff provided more to match your needs. The patio was a nice addition. The staff was super friendly and everything functioned well. The breakfast is standard hotel stuff but everything tasted good. The cooling system in the room was a bit baffling since the instructions were missing, it had a long delay but with patience everything turned out really well. The beds were really good, we slept exceptionally well! Four stars since the value for money was not all that exceptional, only one key was provided, the shower sprinkled water all over the bathroom, the seating area comprised of only one lounge chair and no table (do you really need a drawer desk, who writes letters nowadays?), and while the hotel was basically dog-friendly, there was nothing for the dog, just the additional charge. I'd be happy to pay triple the charge if there was a water bowl, maybe some poo bags and an extra (non-white) towel. Maybe collaboration with the local pet shop would provide cost-effective ways of doing this? Overall, very happy with our stay.
