Tolles Hotel in toller Lage!
Pros:

Tolles Hotel in toller Lage mitten im Zentrum der Stadt. Super sauber, freundliches Personal und bequeme Betten. Frühstück klassisch mit Rührei, Bohnen, Bacon und Würstchen. Ich habe mich an Müsli, Brot mit Marmeladen oder Croissant gehalten. Wurst oder Käse gibt es nicht, aber das passt ja in die Gegend. Alles in allem- voller Daumen hoch 👍🏻

Cons:

nichts
