Ausser der Gestaltung des Bades ziemlich gut
Pros:

Sehr praktische Lage direkt am Bahnhof ohne gleichzeitig die "Bahnhofsprobleme" durch randständige Personengruppen von größeren Städten zu haben.
Sehr freundliches und sympathisches Personal.
Zimmer in guter Größe mit für eine Person ausreichend Oberflächen und Haken.

Cons:

Das Bad ist leider ziemlich dysfuntional gestaltet.
Die Dusche ist halb offen, so dass jemand mit fülliger Figur und/oder mangelnder Vorliebe dafür, sich beim duschen an die Armaturen zu kuscheln zwangsläufig einen Teil des Badezimmers wässert.
Die Lüftung scheint rein passiv oder defekt zu sein, verursachte weder das kleinste Geräusch noch relevante Wirkung.
Die Lüftung funktioniert wirksam nur durchs Zimmer, dessen Fenster wiederum selbst im ersten Stock nur auf Kipp geöffnet werden kann.
Das Waschbecken ist mit einem modern zu kurzen Hahn bestückt, sodass man beim Händewaschen notogerweise die Fingerknöchel ständig an den hinteren Innenrand des Waschbeckens schlagen muss.
Zudem mangelt es sehr an Oberflächen, um etwas abzustellen.

Guter Kurztrip.
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, sehr gute große Zimmer.

Cons:

Das Frühstück kostet 19€ p.P. dafür sollte die Auswahl größer und vor allem dauerhaft in den Frühstückszeiten verfügbar sein. Teilweise musste man sehr lange warten das Teller, Tassen, usw. wieder da waren.
