Safety annoys guests at the hotel
Seems the productiond company may be going a little over board in their security methods. According to local guest at the Clarion Hotel Grand things are a little difficult when trying to manuever around the hotel. Security it seems is standing on guard at the elevators with list in hand and if your name is not on it. Forget it. Your not going up. Not to mention the time it takes to check off the names. Hotel Guest are left waiting while the guard confirms their reservation.
Journalists at the Jämtland private recording site were sent packing but it didn’t stop at the public line. They were put in their car and told to leave the road. According to an officer at Jämtland police there is no basis for such behavior, you can not forbid people to go down a public road.
