Pros:

Sehr großes Zimmer.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer lag direkt über dem Saal an dem zumindest am Wochenende Veranstaltungen durchgeführt werden. Wir waren Samstag und Sonntag dort und bekamen dies durchaus mit. Die Lautstärke war aber nicht so schlimm wie der Verkehr Abends und vor allem morgens.

C’était juste une nuit…
Pros:

La nourriture était excellente au souper et au déjeuner inclus

Cons:

Le lit était très dur et on aurait cru dormir sur le highway tellement c’était bruyant. Nous dormions dans la partie avant, derrière possiblement mieux.

Perfekte Örtlichkeit für unsere Zwecke, da Auto gesichert und früher Start zur Weiterreise möglich.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist für uns ideal für eine Weiterreise in den Süden am frühen Morgen. Das Personal ist immer sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Da wir lediglich übernachten, können wir keine Angabe zum Frühstück machen.
