Niemenharju Tourist Centre — Hotel in Saarijärvi-Viitasaari sub-region

While the owners certainly do not boast of their trophy, this gas-station/motel has been awarded as "the most beautiful service station in world". While the building itself is rather good looking, unfortunately, it does not seem to fit to it´s surroundings very well. The enormous parking area, unemptied trash cans, and ugly signposts outside, spoil the view. From inside, the station is too small, and feels crammed.

The room was fine. Clean modern & bright. I ate dinner at diner across the road, which was better than the service station, but just ok. Breakfast was ok, no complaints. If you just need somewhere to sleep whilst travelling then i would...
