Pros:

מלון בעיצוב חדיש ויפה, שקט מאוד, יש חניה חינם צמודה ובשפע,, מיטות מאוד נוחות, חדרים ממוזגים, ארוחת הבוקר טובה ומספקת.
יש סופר גדול ממש קרוב.

סך הכל למחיר ששילמנו תמורה מעולה.

Cons:

היה נחמד אם היה בקבוק מים בחדר.
רצפת המקלחת מאוד חלקה והיה עדיף אם היו פסים נגד החלקה.

Excellent staff and room .
Pros:

We stayed in a standard double room , we took our son which the hospital provided a cot for. The room was very spacious especially with the additional cot in the room. The bathroom was clean and a large shower. The bed was comfortable and blackout curtains which were great. The staff were very accommodating at check in and again during breakfast in the morning.

Gut geschlafen, gut gefühlt
Pros:

Gut an der Autobahn gelegen. Sauber und modern. Personal perfekt. Ausreichend kostenfreie Hotelparkplätze.

Cons:

Lediglich das Frühstück kann ich nicht so loben. Wenn man das englische Frühstück nicht mag, bleiben die Alternativen sehr begrenzt. Ist aber wahrscheinlich zu vernachlässigen - wir waren die einzigen Deutschen.
