Tolle Unterkunft alles super.
Pros:

Sehr gut

Cons:

Wir sind leider erst sehr spät in der Unterkunft angekommen. Den ganzen Tag über hatte ich kein Internet Empfang und konnte das Hotel über unsere späte Anreise nicht informieren. Als wir angekommen sind, klebte ein Zettel an der Tür, in welchem Zimmer wir sind. Im Zimmer lagen die Schlüssel auf dem Tisch und eine kleine Erklärung dahinter.
Habe dann auch durch die WLAN Verbindung alle Mails bekommen die mir das Personal den ganzen Tag über geschickt hat. Hier wurde auch nochmal alles erklärt.

Das Zimmer war klein aber super süß und gemütlich.
Am nächsten Morgen waren wir umgeben von gut gelaunten und sehr netten Menschen. Uns wurde mitgeteilt dass der Besitzer der Unterkunft in der Nacht ins Krankenhaus musste. Zwei Damen haben das Ein und Aus checken übernommen. Auch die waren super freundlich.
