Alles. Sehr sehr sauber. Sehr geräumig und groß. Personal sehr nett. Frühstück war für die USA sehr sehr gut. Die Lage ist super.
Alles in allem würden wir sofort wieder hier übernachten.

Great staff. Facility quite dated, but mostly clean. Value for money appropriate
Pros:

All of the staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating. Our first night (Friday) the gentleman at the desk (so sorry I cannot remember his name), was especially kind to my elderly parents, going out of his way to accommodate them. Jaime was great as well!!!!

Cons:

The property was a bit dated, but definitely served its purpose. When I went back and looked at the pics in the listing, they are accurate, but you cannot tell from the picture how dated the facility is. Again, functional and pretty clean. The breakfast is limited, but we did all find something we liked. I do wish more towels/washcloths were in room from the beginning, however I understand the reasoning and the staff replenished immediately when I asked.
