Pros:

The breakfast was good. The lake view was beautiful.

Cons:

The pool and hot tub were not working and should have been listed on the website. It also left a horrible smell in the whole hotel. There was an option to use a pool at a different hotel which was inconvenient. The elevator shook and made horrible noise when it went up that made it feel like it was going to break. I travel a lot and for the first time ever I asked for a late checkout and although there was a vacancy sign and rooms were available I was told they were at max capacity on a Sunday and couldn’t accommodate it which seems like they could have accommodated it.

Pros:

Close walk to downtown shops and eateries.there were plenty of towels and bedding. Bed was comfortable and clean except for the inch or two of dust on the headboard with a finger swipe.

Cons:

The hotel upgraded our room at check in with an in room jacuzzi tub.was super excited about that until i saw the tub jets were dirty. The carpet smelled like urine and the pool was being redone so had an awful chemical smell throughout the hotel.had to use the pool and hot tub at a different hotel.the wardrobe door was broken.shower was clean except for a rusted piece of metal that was falling off the wall of the shower. Picture in the bathroom had a broken frame.hope it wouldnt fall off the wall. Shade to the lamp was broke when we walked in and was laying on the bed.husband was able to fix.the room served it's purpose for us because we just needed a place to lay our heads at night but if spending anytime in the room itself,needed to be cleaner.super bummed about the dirty jacuzzi tub.

Traumhafte Lage - hoher Komfort - unbedingt Seeblick buchen
Pros:

Traumhafter Sonnenaufgang - Direkt an der Fähre - Tickets kann man im Hotel kaufen

Cons:

Servicedesk könnte teilweise freundlicher sein. Letztlich hat aber alles gut funktioniert.
