Dort würden wir auf keinen Fall noch einmal übernachten und es niemandem empfehlen
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt im Ortskern.

Cons:

Im gesamten ein sehr runter gekommenes Hotel, alles aus den 70er Jahren, Bad, Zimmer alles runter gekommen. Wir haben uns nicht wohl gefühlt vorallem ist der Preis für die Nacht unverschämt. Das Frühstück nicht vertretbar.

Pros:

Lovely man on duty at reception, he was also working in the bar and restaurant, so friendly and polite. Comfortable clean room, but the restaurant was the highlight, excellent food and wine. A great place to stay.
