Herrliche Lage am See, freundliches Personal. Ausstattung in die Jahre gekommen!
Pros:

Herrliche Lage direkt am See mit schönem Park und großzügiger Liegewiese.
Freundiches Personal, uriges Gebäude.
Sehr gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

Die Zimmerausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, die Whirlpoolwanne im Zimmer müffelt und funktioniert auch nicht besonders. Stattdessen hätte man lieber das Bad renovieren sollen. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt - wie fast überall in der Schweiz - überhaupt nicht. Die Schweiz preist sich gegenüber Österreich und Italien konsequent aus dem Markt, was natürlich auch an der Stärke des Franken liegt. Die Hotel- und Restaurantbetreiber in der Schweiz können einem Leid tun, bald werden hier nur noch Reiche und Einheimische einkehren.

Pros:

Die wunnderbare, ruhige Lage mit Blick auf den See

Cons:

Wir fanden es schade, dass das Frühstück und Abendessen im gegenüberliegenden Betrieb ( Swiss Lodge - üver die Strasse) eingenommen werden musste..
Obwohl die Qualität und die Freundlichjeit des Personals nichts zu bemängeln gibt

Top Lage super Leute und ein tolles Ambiente
Pros:

Top Lage, sehr nettes Personal und super Zimmer. Die Pizzas die sie backen sind hervorragend. Alles in allem sehr gut. Es gibt noch eine Sauna die benützt werden kann und im Sommer ist es auch möglich direkt am See in einem Saunafass zu schwitzen :-)

Cons:

Alles gut und keine nennenswerten Dinge die erwähnt werden müssen. Das is hier jetzt schwierig da es sich um ein Pflichtfeld handelt um noch mehr zu schreiben!
