Even if you have high spectations, this hotel will surpass it !
Pros:

Service is beyond spetacular. From valet parking when you arrive, reception clerks, maids, waiters,... well trained staff.

Cons:

The TV position in the room is not good, so you cannot watch TV from bed. But since the room has a sofa, you can watch from there.

Pros:

Die Lage, die Ausstattung, die Dekoration.

Cons:

Im Zimmer ging die Heizung nicht mehr obwohl es nachts Recht kalt war. Der kleine offen welcher uns aufs Zimmer gestellt wurde half auch nicht viel. In dieser Preisklasse darf man eine Angenehme Temperatur erwarten.
