Für ein Wochenende definitiv zu empfehlen, wer fußläufig die ca. 20 Minuten in die Altstadt gehen kann
Pros:

modernes Hotel, gutes Essensangebot, Parkplatz konnte auch nach Absprache noch den kompletten Abreisetag genutzt werden

Cons:

Teure Parkgebühren (ist aber überall in Esslingen so), Sauberkeit könnte etwas besser sein (seltsame blaue Flecken im Badezimmer auf dem Boden und der Handtuchheizung), etwas hellhörig (der Wecker aus dem Nachbar-Zimmer hat mich mitgeweckt)

Ok - Personal top - Ausstattung eher flop
Pros:

Freundliches Personal an der Rezeption

Cons:

In der teureren bzw. größeren Zimmer gibt es im Bad keinerlei Abtrennung für die Dusche auch keinen Vorhang - nicht machbar zu duschen ohne alles unter Wasser zu setzen - wir mussten deshalb das Zimmer tauschen zur günstigeren Kategorie - bekamen jedoch nicht den Differenzbetrag retour - schade
