The closure is part of a broader strike in the hotel and restaurant industry that was significantly expanded on May 3, according to official sources. All hotels in Mo i Rana, Sandnessjøen, Mosjøen, and Brønnøysund were taken out on strike. Guests who stayed the last night will receive breakfast and can check out, but no new check-ins are allowed, Elvebakk told NRK Nordland.
She described the situation as winding down operations for a long weekend without activity. The number of affected guests and the total number of hotels impacted remain unclear. The strike's duration and the workers' demands have not been disclosed.
