It was wonderfully historically fun and enjoyable.
Pros:

It is a lovely vinttage hotel as I hoped. The scenery and the grounds are lovely. The staff are exceptional. I very much enjoyed the furnishings and history.

Cons:

There might have been a wait for new coffee in the morning but pretty certain that was an isolated case. And I might have needed coffee that morning more than most.

Beautiful location but had trouble sleeping
Pros:

The location was beautiful and the staff were very nice, friendly, and very helpful. Room size was appropriate. Bathroom had plenty of storage area.

Cons:

Front doors did not lock at night. We had someone we didn't know bang on our door at night and were not sure if it was a guest or not. We were in a room next to the elevator and stairs and heard the noise all night. Couldn't sleep. Carpet in rooms we find uncomfortable in any hotel.

Wonderful property to spend a night!
Pros:

Beautiful property! Grounds were stunning. Loved the old fashioned elegant feel of the hotel. Beautiful room, clean and comfortable. The toiletries they provided in the bathroom were wonderful. Smelled so good!

Cons:

No complimentary breakfast. Website said complimentary coffee in the morning but when we came down, we were told it had already been put away so they had to call someone to bring us some coffee which they did. But if we had been told at check in that coffee service ended at a certain time, we would have come down sooner.

Pros:

The grounds are lovely and feel like a step back in time to an oasis. The overlook patio at the lounge is a great place to relax and enjoy the view of the gorge.

Cons:

It was a bit loud on the highway/garden side of the building. I am not certain what could be done to correct that, but perhaps a small white noise machine would help.

Stilvolles Hotel an einer schoenen Lage und schoenem Garten
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr schoen und das Gebaeude hat Geschichte und Charakter.
Die Zimmer sind geraeumig.
Grosser kostenfreier Parkplatz

Cons:

Waehrend unseren Aufenthaltes war eine Hochzeitsfeier mit sehr lauter Musik - leider sind die alten Zimmerfenster nicht dicht und so war es sehr laut. Man kann auch die Autobahn ein wenig hoeren.
Es gibt keine gemuetliche Sonnenterrasse zum draussen Essen (wir haben im Best Western Plus auf der schoenen Terrasse gegessen)
Das Leintuch hatte Flecken und die Handtuecher waren etwas ausgefranst, was nicht dem Niveau der Bewertungen entsprach.

Enjoyable Stay
Pros:

We enjoyed our one night at the hotel. Setting is beautiful, rooms comfortable, food was good. The single employee operated elevator is a pain, but it's a historical hotel so it is what it is.

A nice, comfortable stay in a lovely setting
Pros:

Great location, lovely views from terrace and grounds. Interesting history and helpful staff. Note that the elevator needs to be operated by a staff person, which can cause delays.
