Petäys Resort — Hotel in Hämeenlinna sub-region

The room was not very clean, as we entered, had a dark long hair in the bathroom sink, bathroom floor was wet and the room was very hot. All the family rooms were taken though, so we could not get a change of room. The only restaurant open at the property was a lakeside restaurant, but it seemed quite understaffed. After 30 minutes in the restaurant we had only managed to be seated, but the table had not been cleaned after previous guests nor had we been given any menus. We decided to leave and eat elsewhere ending up driving about a half an hour to the nearest restaurant which was in Hämeenlinna. The idea of the hotel with all the activities is quite nice, but the activities are quite small scale and the hotel a bit outdated. Considered leaving before the first night already, but decided to give it a another chance. Would not come back for a second...

Heard that hotel has a new owner and they will improve service & concepts in the future. The best of place is absolutely it's significant outdoor activities and scenic towards lake. Price was also reasonable. I will remember this place also for...

A lakeside hotel with free activities including rowing, cycling, gym etc. Nice terrace restaurang with good food at the beach. Scenery is as good as it can be at finnish lakeside, so reaaally nice. But the hotel is a bit worn, maintaining needs more attention, service varies from friendly to more of a "old school". Basic rooms are really basic, but clean and with spacious bathrooms. Breakfast is a good one except the "egg-like" yellow jelly. Why? Eggs are too cheap in Finland. Suggestion: pls add locally produced wines and ciders to bar offerings. They need more visibility as they are much better than you...
