Desperately needs upgrades.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

This hotel desperately needs upgrades and updates. Very old decor and dingy. Hallways are dark, rooms are dark the carpets have seen far too much. The washroom was small and the shower is tiny. A big waste of space is a jacuzzi tub in beside the bed. Take that space and make a proper bathroom.

A comfortable stay.
Pros:

The comfortable, clean room in a good location. Pretty location by the lake. The evening service for food was good.

Cons:

It was hard to find the waiter to order breakfast and then hard to find him again to pay. This was annoying as I wanted to leave promptly as I had a long drive.

It was ok
Pros:

Close to the airport

Stairs were a challenge with luggage and no help was offered.

No available tables for supper even though we checked in at a reasonable time.

Mold on the shower in the bathroom.

good, friendly, good location
Pros:

lovely staff and location

Cons:

no breakfast included was a little bit of a let down as the room was quite expensive. The food was really nice but a but pricey. However I'd def. stay here again. Of particular note was the staff in the restaurant for supper/breakfast as well as front desj were very friendly and attentive.

Pros:

Das Personal im Pub vom Haus war sehr nett und entgegen kommend. Allgemein war man bemüht.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung war etwas alt und da es keinen aktiven Luftaustausch im Bad gab, waren das Bad und das Schlafzimmer lange Zeit feucht nach dem Duschen.

Can't go wrong if you are looking for a place close to the airport and still feels like vacation!
Pros:

Room was fine - nice balcony overlooking the pool. We didn't have the breakfast - and we chose this hotel for it's proximity to the airport - but it was far enouh away that we didn't feel like we were right ontop of the airport- the Lake was nice.

Cons:

the room was a bit outdated, but clean.

Eine praktische, einfache Uebernachtungsmöglichkeit in der Nähe des Flughafens.
Pros:

Das Essen, Frühstück ist qualitativ gut. Die Nähe zum Flughafen ist sicher auch ein Vorteil. Die Zimmer haben einen Teppichboden, den wir als unangenehm empfanden.

Cons:

Nun, der Teppich im Zimmer ist sicher nicht hygienisch.
