schön aber teuer
Cons:

Hotel ist Lagebedingt unglaublich schlecht mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Entsprechend beschwerlich ist die An-bzw. Abreise mit viel Gepäck. Frühstücksangebot für 25,- Euro pro Person ist sportlich hoch. Gleiches gilt für die gesamten Nebenkosten wie Parken, Kurtaxe etc. - Salzburg hat ganz allgemein unglaublich mit den Preisen angezogen.
