Habe sehr gut geschlafen und gefrühstückt und würde wieder kommen
Pros:

Ein kleines schlichtes Hotel mit älterer Ausstattung und neuem Duschbad, angenehm weichem Bett, sehr gutem Frühstück und sehr nettem Personal in unmittelbarer Nähe zu einem Parkhaus. In meinem Zimmer (12) war es ruhig. Perfekt für mich, dass es sich im EG befindet.

Cons:

Es war nicht perfekt gereinigt (noch Haare im Waschbecken-Siphon, keine Flüssigseife mehr im Spender) und etwas Schmutz auf dem Boden im Zimmer, aber das Bett war sauber und frisch bezogen!

Okay
Pros:

Nettes Personal, gute Erreichbarkeit. Garage ist nahe - wenn auch etwas teuer ( 25€/Tag).
Zimmer waren sauber

Cons:

Zimmer waren sehr unterschiedlich. Die einen neuer, die anderen älter und abgeranzter. In einem vom 3 Zimmer war der Föhn mit na spaxx schraube zusammen gehalten?
Für nen kurzen Aufenthalt passt das schon :)

Das Reinigungspersonal gehört geschult.
Pros:

Gute Lage, freundliche Rezeption.

Cons:

Sauberkeit hat stark zu wünschen lassen, wenn in den Schränken noch Unterwäsche und Müll vom vorherigen Gast und unter dem Bett und auf dem Nachttisch klebrige Flüssigkeiten sichtbar sind kann man davon ausgehen, dass außer das Bett frisch bezogen nichts gesäubert wurde...
Zudem lag bei meiner Ankunft Bettzeug Mitten auf dem Flur im Eingangsbereich.

Die Terrasse vom Zimmer befand sich direkt vor dem Fenster und Bett des Nachbarzimmers, ich hätte mich nicht wohl gefühlt dort zu sitzen.
