Einfach nur toll
Pros:

Man hat das Gefühl, die Mitarbeiter lieben und leben ihren Job.
Jede Zelle ist außergewöhnlich, wovon wir uns bei einer informativen und lustigen Führung überzeugen konnten. Von der Ausstattung der Bäder kann sich so manches Sternehotel eine Scheibe abschneiden.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden.

Cons:

Uns hat alles gefallen.
