Pros:

The staff are always friendly!

Cons:

When needed, there was no complimentary hot water or coffee for customers after hours. My child needed a hot tea and I couldn’t figure out the machine in the room, it would have been nice to have an option to go downstairs and get a free hot cup of water in the late hours.

Ok, mehr aber auch nicht
Cons:

Das Frühstück ist auf Dauer einseitig. Manchmal stinkt es zum Teil extrem nach Schwefel. WLAN funktioniert grundsätzlich, lästig nur, dass man jeden 2. Tag neu einsteigen muss obwohl man die Varainte 7 Tage gratis auswählt

So glad to have found this hotel. We will be back!
Pros:

The room was quiet, parking was great, the beds were comfortable, TV’s in front room and bedroom. I liked the little fitness room and having free breakfast in the restaurant in the morning was a treat. Staff in the restaurant were so friendly. Also have to give a shout out to Enoch who helped us with one of our TVs.

Cons:

There was a foul smell by one of the side doors where we parked.
