Expotel Hotel

Expotel Hotel sits right by Lower Tankbund, which is a pretty well-known spot because we are adjacent to Snow World. You can often see families walking by on their way to see the ice. Our lobby is a bit of a transition point where the city noise starts to fade out. It has a high ceiling and some heavy curtains that help keep the glare off the floor. The furniture is sturdy and comfortable enough, even if it looks a bit dated to some people. We have a front desk that is almost always busy with people checking in or asking for directions to the nearby parks. The staff usually wears plain uniforms and we spend a lot of time making sure the hallways are clear. You can hear the traffic from the main road if the windows are open, so we usually keep them shut tight. The elevators make a little dinging sound that you get used to after a while. In the mornings, the smell of breakfast drifts through the halls, mostly just toasted bread and coffee. We don't try to be a five-star luxury place with gold statues. It's just a hotel where the beds are clean and the water is hot. People come here because it’s a convenient location for seeing the sights around the lake. It gets a bit hectic during the holidays, but for the most part, it's a steady flow of travelers coming through our doors.
