Exausting
Pros:

Private lake and park access

Cons:

Air conditioning solution, the cooler provided in the rooms is extremely loud we couldn’t sleep the whole night, and it doesn’t work properly we had to call for help multiple times to empty the water tank!

Pillows are very bad , we couldn’t sleep because of the loud cooler noise and bad pillows for two nights

Toller Kurztrip
Pros:

Spezielles Schloss Hotel, tolle Einrichtung. Wunderbare Lage mit eigenem Park und See Anstoss.

Cons:

Da verständlicher Weise keine Klimaanlage eingebaut ist, ist es bei Aussentemperaturen um die 35 Grad Celsius in den Zimmern doch ziemlich heiss.

Pros:

The location was excellent! Beautiful position on the lake, close to a supermarket and local train.

Cons:

No air conditioning and the rooms are very hot in summer with no breeze. The small fan did very little to keep you cool.

Pros:

Superb location on the lake shore. Good facilities in the building and grounds. Room was traditional, clean and tidy.

Cons:

Only negative was that the air conditioning that was provided was not working and only replaced with a small fan. Some nights uncomfortable to sleep as the summer temperatures were high.
