Nice stay even for families with children
Pros:

Everything is great including very quick responsive staffs. Our toilet flush stopped working in the middle of the night. They fixed it immediately.
Very clean room.

Cons:

Breakfast items only included items with pork. They do have eggs and other vegetarian options. But It would be nice if they include options with chicken. A lot of people don’t eat pork or beef.

Decent stay for a pit stop
Pros:

The location was good for what we needed. The car park was close by. Check in was easy and friendly. The room was clean and comfy. Breakfast was well organised. The bar area was convenient.

Cons:

The rooms weren't sound proof and there was some noise. We did ask for a better situated room but unfortunately didn't get this (I appreciate this is not guaranteed). Some of the guests weren't considerate but the staff managed this well. The air con/heating system was faulty but fortunately this didn't impact too much on our stay.

Pros:

Die Lage ist gut

Cons:

Ein Wasser im Zimmer zur Begrüßung wäre angemessen. Das Lunchpaket entsprach leider nicht den Erwartungen.
