Schlecht geführtes Hotel
Pros:

Es war soweit im großen und ganzen sauber und gut ausgestattet.

Cons:

Das Frühstück am zweiten Tag war eine Katastrophe, es gab so gut wie nichts mehr.
Es gab kein Brot mehr, kein Obst, keine Eierspeisen, keinen Saft, keinen Joghurt.
Auf Nachfrage ist dann ein Mann losgefahren zum einkaufen und hat uns wenigstens Brot geholt nach einer halben Stunde warten war er dann wieder da.
Habe ich so auch noch nicht erlebt.

Would stay here again.
Pros:

Very clean. Close walk to several places. We couldnt drive because we had a 42' trailer behind our truck. Room for us to park too.

Cons:

Ice machine was broken on main floor. No healthy options for breakfast. Previous customers food was in the fridge.

Location as good, but service and facilities were sub par, and not worth the money.
Pros:

Location for purpose of our trip was great.

Cons:

1. Room floors were disgusting. We had to wear shoes in our room, otherwise, the bottom of our feet would become dirty (black). Carpeted floor was sticky feeling.

2. Poor room service. We had to ask for towels every evening. Our room was not serviced until the day before we checked out, and only then because we asked for it to be serviced.
