Alles in Allem ein sehr schöner Kurzurlaub!
Pros:

Die Lage ist super . Es war sehr schön ruhig. Das Personal im Restaurant und der Zimmerservice war ausgesprochen freundlich.

Cons:

Ich finde Teppichböden im gesamten Hotel nicht so gut. Ausserdem hat es mich gewundert, dass wir den Behindertenparkplatz bezahlen mussten.

Pros:

Mir hat das Hotel sehr gut gefallen. Sehr sauber. Top Wellnessbereich mit mehreren Saunas und Ruhebereichen. Sauna übrigens mit Aufgüssen. Also wenn sich jemand entspannen möchte ist hier genau richtig.

Cons:

Leider sehr schlechter Internet/ WLAN. Aber das ist wohl im Ausbau und sollte künftig Glassfaser vorhanden sein.
