Beim Frühstück wurde nie abgeräumt am Tisch, und eine Aushilfskellnerin an der Bar war ziemlich unmotiviert und überfordert!

Im großen und ganzen war es ein sehr erholsames Wochenende, das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich
Pros:

Das Abendessen war sensationell, auch das Frühstück entsprach ganz unseren Erwartungen und war sehr gut. Das Zimmer war von der Einrichtung her nicht mehr ganz so top, aber es war alles sehr sauber und das ist ja dann das Wichtigste

Cons:

Die Einrichtung ist w.o. schon beschrieben nicht mehr so modern, aber das ist halt so
