Ongelofelijk smerig avondeten. Slechte kwaliteit, vriendelijke maar onkundige bediening. Ik zou er nooit keer gaan eten.

Nog nooit in een hotel overnacht met zo'n overweldigend vogelconcert in de vroegte.
Pros:

De locatie is perfect voor het wandelen van een (deel) van de Hermannsweg en/of een aantal toeristische hotspots.
Het terras is fraai.
Maar wat ons echt het meest beviel was het enorme vogelconcert.

Cons:

De avondmaaltijden vonden wij minder dan verwacht, maar dat is natuurlijk ook een kwestie van smaak.
