Neues gepflegtes Hotel mit Abstrichen
Pros:

Alles sehr sauber, genug Parkplätze und sehr freundlicher Empfang.
Alles wirkt neuwertig und sehr gepflegt.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war für drei Personen sehr eng. Da man die Fenster nur kippen kann, war es auf Grund der sommerlichen Wärme etwas stickig.
Außerdem hört man sehr viel Autoverkehr, der aber nachts nachlässt.
Leider ist es mir nicht gelungen, den Fernseher in Betrieb zu setzen. Nachfragen ging nicht, da die Rezeption abends nicht besetzt war.
Auch morgens ist wohl erst ab 8 Uhr jemand vor Ort. Da beginnt übrigens auch erst die Frühstückszeit. Wenn man früher abreisen muss, ist das schlecht.
