Pros:

Das Hotel ist in einer sehr zentralen Lage an der Hauptstraße und von dort aus kommt man fußläufig überall hin.

Cons:

Das Mobiliar ist in die Jahre gekommen. Das Bett wurde mal modernisiert. In dem Schrank wo die Minibar sein sollte, wurde einfach der Kühlschrank entfernt und nichts weiteres an dem Schrank verändert. Ist nicht einladend. Des weiteren ist das Badezimmer in die Jahre gekommen. Die Duschwand ist veraltet und teilweise schon kaputt gewesen. Die Klobrille war vergilbt und es ist wenig Platz zwischen Toilette und Badewanne.
Das Personal ist nicht immer vor Ort und man muss anrufen und drauf warten.

Nie wieder!
Pros:

Die gute Lage

Cons:

Der in der Zimmerinformation abgegebene Wasserkocher hat gefehlt; die Gänge haben muffig gerochen. Am Abreisetag hat der Fahrstuhl nicht funktioniert; ein Zugang zum Treppenhaus war nicht ersichtlich; mussten zweimal in der Rezeption anrufen, bis uns jemand den Weg gezeigt haben; durch diese Aktion haben wir unseren Bus zum Hauptbahnhof verpasst.

Pros:

Die Lage ist super, mitten in der Altstadt.

Cons:

Die Küche des Hotels wird renoviert. Es gibt kein Restaurant. Dadurch gab es auch kein "Leben" im Erdgeschoss. Auch der Eingangsbereich ist renovierungsbedürftig.

nie wieder > das ist eine Frechheit!
Pros:

die Lage mitten im Zentrum

Cons:

hier besteht ein absoluter Investitionsstau > alte abgegriffene Möbel, kaputter Teppich, das Bad richtig abgenutzt (alt, offene und dreckige schimmelige Fugen), kein Fernseher, usw.
