The local area is boring in April. The Alfred Nobel Museum has very limited hours, and the lake isn't frozen over, nor warm enough to swim. The renovated rooms are much better than before. I really don't like the metal plates that stick out into the hallway next to each room. They are easy to hit while maneuvering luggage into the door. I don't see any purpose for them, and having stayed at this hotel for months total over the years, I hit it quite often.
