Pros:

Familienzimmer im 3. Stock, groß und sauber, Parkplatz hatte ich vorab reserviert für 15 CHF, Küchenzeile war im Zimmer, Wasserkocher und Kaffee, Tee und Kakao allerdings keine Tassen sondern Pappbecher. Löffel habe ich an der Rezeption bekommen. Wir waren angenehm überrascht, wegen den teilweise schlechten Bewertungen. Da wir einen grossen Stau auf der Hinfahrt hatten, sind wir erst kurz vor halb zehn eingetroffen und wurden trotz der späten Uhrzeit noch in Empfang genommen, herzlichen Dank dafür. Aufzug im Haus, was mit Gepäck sehr angenehm war. Wir durften unser Auto auch noch eine Stunde nach dem Check Out stehen lassen, um noch schnell an den See zu gehen. Man geht ca. 10 min. und ist an der Promenade.

Cons:

Das Gästehaus ist mitten auf einer Kreuzung, nachts mit offenem Fenster schlafen war nicht möglich. Mit geschlossenen Fenstern war es ok. Für die Kaffeepulver etc. wären Tassen schöner gewesen, ging aber auch mit Pappbechern.
