Pros:

Renovated rooms, and restaurant. The staff was really tested with a lot of kids and people but they managed to provide all the food throughout the breakfast and dinner.

Cons:

Pillows, of course. The only one, and I mean the only hotel with good pillows was the B&B Hotel in Brussels (Diagem), and I travel a lot.
I don't know if their indoor pool has a heating system, but the water could be a little bit warmer since it was October.

Ottimo albergo
Pros:

Albergo rinnovato con molti servizi specialmente per famiglie. Buona la pulizia. Stanza molto grande

Cons:

I cucini estremamente scomodi. La maggioranza delle persone era di lingua tedesca o slovena, per cui per gli italiani è più difficile avere personale che parla la lingua (es. Animazione per bambini)
