Only the staff and pool/hot tub entice me back. The rooms need to be completely overhauled; get rid of the filthy ca
Pros:

The staff were exceptional. So kind, always with a pleasant and helpful demeanor. The pool and hot tub… perfection. The temps in each were perfect! Please always keep the pool at that temp… makes it so inviting. The staff and pool/hot tub were what made the stay positive.

Cons:

The rooms are filthy. The carpet needs to go. There was a constant humidity in the room. They desperately need DE-humidifiers. The rooms need an overhaul. More dresser space is needed. The beds need to be replaced. They are old and lumpy. Ancient. Get new mattresses. This is not only my experience but also the commentary of my friends and relatives who also stayed here. Our feet were black walking on the room carpet. Remove the carpeting and overhaul the rooms and get new mattresses as soon as possible.

Will return due to the staff & pool/hot tub experience. Rooms need dehumidifiers and total makeover.
Pros:

The staff were exceptional. The pool and hot tub are amazing. The pool temperature is perfection. Never change the pool temp!!! It is so inviting and comfortable and deeply appreciated.

Cons:

The beds and pillows are horrible. The beds are lumpy and old and uncomfortable. Horrible night’s sleeps. Pillows and mattresses need to be replaced. I had 5 other guests say the same. The pillows are too hard or too soft. The carpet in the rooms made our socks and feet dirty. And the rooms all need a DE-HUMIDIFIER. EVERYTHING was sticky and towels did not dry. The rooms need a makeover. They also need more dresser space.

Schönes Hotel- Frühstück unverschämt
Pros:

Das Zimmer war geräumig und das Personal ingesamt sehr nett.
Die Lage zur Stadt war ok, es ist ja auch ein Airport Hotel ;)

Cons:

Ich kann die Meinung vieler hier nicht teilen. Obwohl wir mit Frühstück gebucht hatten, mussten wir uns Coupons erkämpfen. Dann konnte man genau einen Kaffee und ein Gericht auswählen, alles andere musste man bezahlen.
Auch wurden wir leider am ersten Tag über die Menge der French Toast nicht aufgeklärt und haben zu zweit 16 Stück bestellt. Die Dame im Speisesaal war sehr lustlos.
Am zweiten Tag Gottseidank eine andere Mitarbeiterin, die super nett half. Aber nun wussten wir ja auch wie’s funktioniert.
Sehr schade man könnte mehr draus machen.
Geldscheffelei beim Frühstück bei den Hotelpreisen, besonders wenn ich schon mit Frühstück gebucht habe, finde ich frech.

Pros:

The counter staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Yes the breakfast staff only had 1 person taking food orders which caused long delays in you getting your food. I imagined that it had only 1 cook as well.

Great location, but needs some cleaning and updating.
Pros:

The front desk and waitress were wonderful, very friendly. The location of the hotel was awesome too.

Cons:

The pool area, specifically the hot tub was dirty. We are traveling from a different time zone and ended up in the pool unintentionally before it officially opened. A staff member scolded us for being in the pool too early as cleaning is done. We promptly left and returned later to see if cleaning, which included mounds of sand in the hot tub and it was still present. So, after being scolded, cleaning still wasn't completed.
