Pros:

Es hat an nichts gefehlt, wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Das Frühstück war reichhaltig, der Parkplatz toll und die späte Auscheck-Zeit war super. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend.

Pros:

Ein sehr gut und zentral gelegenes Hotel mit geräumigen Zimmern. Sehr freundliches Personal und super Service. Ein großes Frühstücksbuffet mit europäischer Gerichteauswahl.

Cons:

Im Kleiderschrank ist viel Platz verschwendet, ein paar mehr Einlegeböden im rechten Teil wären gut.
