Loved the location and b'fast out on the balcony.
Pros:

Couldn't swing a cat in the bathroom, though the shower was big enough. Room reasonable size. No A/C. B'fast was good, as was the location.

Cons:

Love how Europeans can create a hotel but they need to think rooms through before start re-modeling at times. If climate change continues hotels are going to have to do something about adding a/c.

Gutes Hotel in der Stadt
Pros:

Das Hotel ist gut gelegen, gleich bei der Einkaufsstrasse und drei Minuten von der Promenade am See entfernt. Es hat eine schöne, grosszügige Eingangshalle, Lifte und mein Zimmer war sehr gross und hatte eine Klimaanlage. Ich habe nicht im Hotel gegessen

Cons:

Ich konnte die Storen vor dem Fenster nicht herunterlassen oder hochziehen und das Badezimmer war nicht ganz so sauber.

Pros:

Die Lage ist gut der Eingangsbereich schön und erinnert an bessere Zeiten. Das Frühstück war gut und kostenlos für die Kinder - top!

Cons:

Sehr kahles Zimmer und ohne Klimaanlage unter dem Dach sehr heiss. Abends hörte man den Strassenlärm, aber in der Nacht darf man nur 30 fahren und es war dann nach 22 Uhr ruhig.
