We have stayed at Stav many times, has been OK, and very convenient being on E6 as we visit by car. This time: Staff was not "joyful", quite the opposite. The room (#101) was cold on arrival, the view non-existent as the only window was against a concrete-wall, the elevator make a lot of "weird" noises which made us uncomfortable, and it was obvious that the whole Hotel was in need of upgrading and upkeeping.
