Kommer man i bil, er det dyrt og upraktisk iforhold til parkerings faciliteter .
Pros:

Morgenmaden var lækkert og der var hvad der skulle være. Personalet var meget venlige og serviceminded. Hyggelige atmosfære. Central beliggenhed, tæt på station, gågade og Rhinen.

Cons:

Der kunne godt have været kroge samt hylder på badeværelset til aflægning af sine ting.

Für Party begeisterte super
Pros:

Die Lage war Klasse direkt in der Stadt

Cons:

Das kleine Zimmer und die Lautstärke von draußen. Es war sehr warm an dem Tag und leider mit dem Lüfter in der Nacht nicht so schön. Wir haben dann das Fenster geöffnet um etwas Luft zu bekommen. Sehr viele betrunkene waren leider diese Nacht unterwegs somit war schlafen nicht so doll.
