I stayed in the Stenungsbaden yacht club while on business in Stenungsund in the Autumn of 2008. Rooms are available for around 1000 SEK per night.
The hotel is located 45km from Gothenburg and gives excellent access to the North of Sweden and Norway ( from Gothenburg, you follow the road signs for Oslo). Stenungsbaden is located on the outskirts of Stenungsund, and is a 20 minute walk from the Bus and Train station in Stenungsund centre.
The view from the hotel, more importantly the marina is spectacular. The hotel backs onto a dense forest, which runs from the hotel to the Tjornbron Bridge. The Tjornbron Lookout, which you'll reach after crossing the Bridge also offers a spectacular panorama.
I stayed in one of the Racing class rooms, the room was spacious and had everything i required for my stay there, large double bed, TV, desk and one of the more powerful showers I have ever seen in a hotel room. There are many different "classes" of rooms available to suit most travellers.
They offer a buffet style Breakfast and Dinner in the main restaurant, and the Marina's restaurant offers an impressive a la carte menu. The restaurants in the Stenungsund and surrounding area have a great selection of fish specialities. with the quality of fish, in my opinion being superb.
I admit to not being the biggest fan of fish dishes but i had my eyes opened with the wonderful selection available.
The selection at the buffet was very good, one thing I liked about Swedish eating was the trip to salad bar before starting on the main meal. They offered a selection of 3 or 4 different mains each evening and I always found a number of them to be to my liking. The Marina restaurant was my favourite place to eat, the view was just as amazing as the food they offered.
There was a Sports centre being built at the yacht club while i was there, which was scheduled to be opened in 2008, this would add another appealing dimension to the stay at the Stenungsbaden for me.
There is regular bus and train service from Stenungsund to Gothenburg, both hourly. I generally relied on the extremely professional taxi service operating in Stenungsund, due to the normally early morning flights I was taking.
