Pros:

Wir wurden sehr herzlich im Hotel Sonne empfangen. Zwar war die Suche nach der dazugehörigen Garage etwas holprig, aber das war auch schon das einzige Manko (vielleicht lag's auch an meinem Orientierungssinn 😅).
Das Frühstück war reichlich und abwechslungsreich -auch Vegetarier und Veganer wurden hier fündig -, das Personal immer super freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Wasserkocher und eine kleine Auswahl an Tee und Kaffee standen ebenso zur Begrüßung bereit wie frisches Obst und eine Flasche Wasser.
Man hat gesehen, dass viel Herzblut in die Einrichtung geflossen ist. Von der Auswahl der Möbel bis hin zum Raumduft verströmte alles ein sehr heimeliges Gefühl. Wir waren rundum begeistert und kommen sehr gern wieder.
Das i-Tüpfelchen waren die Fanfaren und Kapellen, die aus Anlass der örtlichen Festlichkeiten zu Pfingsten immer mal wieder im Hotel ihre Lieder zum Besten gaben.
Allein dieses Spektakel verdient eine klare Besuchsempfehlung.

Cons:

Ein kleiner Kühlschrank wäre toll gewesen.

Mitten in einer Kleinstadt, die als ganzes eigentlich ein Museum ist.
Pros:

Die Lage mitten in der Altstadt und die Möglichkeit einen guten Parkplatz zu haben war toll. Auch das Zimmer war sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Frühstück wirklich gut. Sehr gute Betten. Äußerst nettes Personal.

Cons:

Uns wurde ein Zimmer im 1. Stock versprochen und dann mussten wir das Gepäck über enge Treppen in den 2. Stock schaffen und zuvor noch 1 Stock hinunter, das war für uns betagte Menschen ein bisserl heftig, aber letztendlich machbar.
