Cons:

Leider waren wir mit unserem Aufenthalt nicht zufrieden. Die Umgebung des Hotels war nicht zentral gelegen und dadurch unpraktisch. Außerdem wurde unser Zimmer während des Aufenthalts nicht gereinigt. Die Decke bzw. die Isolation war sehr schlecht – man hat jeden Schritt und jedes Geräusch deutlich gehört. Zusätzlich waren die Parkplätze extrem teuer. Insgesamt entsprach der Aufenthalt leider nicht unseren Erwartungen.

SCHADE waren bisher immer sehr zufrieden, weiss nicht was passiert ist.
Pros:

Die Lage war gut, nahe der Autobahnausfahrt

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte überhaupt keine Atmosphäre, es war schmutzig-Bettwäsche und Kopfteil des Bettes, viel Staub-im Badezimmer beim Haartrockner schichtweise zudem funktionierte der Haartrockner nicht! Spinnweben an der Decke…und am schlimmsten waren alle Handtücher-nach dem Abtrocknen war der ganze Körper mit schwarzen Fusseln bedeckt richtig unangenehm.
