Clean room. Lovely staff.
Pros:

The room was spotless. Had all facilities to make drinks..etc.

Cons:

Springs poking out of the mattress.
Music downstairs until early hours (early plugs provided) I didn't see it was a club venue until after arriving.
However that would not stop me staying there again.

Es könnte perfekt sein ...
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal am Check-in. Gute Parkplatzlösung. Erstklassiges Frühstück! Grosses, sauberes Zimmer. Fast perfekt, außer ...

Cons:

.... Mutmasslich von Partygästen im Haus wurde nach 1 Uhr Nacht Feueralarm ausgelöst. Nachdem ich dann nach unten ging, traf ich dort auf sehr angetrunkene Partygäste. Die Musik wurde trotzdem weitergespielt und es gab keine Aufklärung, ob dieser Alarm bedrohlich wäre. Offenbar hat man hier nie etwas von der Silvesterkatastrophe in der Schweiz gehört. Durch diesen Vorfall entgeht das Hotel hier völlig einer 10-Punktebewertung !
