Ein rundum gelungener Besuch zum Weihnachtsmarkt

Pros:

Wir kamen wegen dem Weihnachtsmarkt nach Esslingen und das Hotel war ja fast neben dem Mark. Sehr nettes Personal. Super leckeres Frühstück. Sehr sauberes Zimmer.

Cons:

Leider war das Bett kein DOPPELBETT. Es waren 2 Betten aneinander gestellt. Als Paar nicht sehr praktisch. Es ging immer auseinander.

Alles in allem in Ordnung.
Pros:

Lage sehr gut, direkt im Zentrum! Freundliches Personal und saubere Zimmer! Ausstattung in Ordnung, alles was man benötigt. Frühstück nicht in Anspruch genommen.

Cons:

Sehr wenig Parkplätze und die Parkhäuser in der näheren Umgebung überfüllt (speziell Samstags). Musste daher einen weiteren Fussweg in Kauf nehmen.
