We had dinner in the restaurant and it was fabulous. The lamb rump was perfectly cooked as was the gratin potato. Staff were lovely too. Great shuttle service to the airport early the next day.

Cons:

Room was a bit tired but the bed was comfy.

Empfehlenswert für eine Nacht vor einem Flug
Pros:

Für uns war die Nähe zum Flughafen entscheidend, da wir am nächsten Morgen einen frühen Flug hatten. Die Ausstattung ist einfach aber zweckmäßig. Insgesamt ein gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.
Empfehlenswert: Das Restaurant!

Cons:

Die Schlafzimmer zur Parkplatzseite sind nur empfehlenswert für Menschen mit gutem und tiefem Schlaf.
