Pros:

Sehr angenehmes Hotel in guter Lage für Ausflüge. Frühstück war sehr gut und das Parken ist absolut problemlos. Die Betten waren bequem und das Zimmer war ausreichend groß.

Cons:

Bei einem Aufenthalt, der mehr als einen Tag dauert, benötigt man etwas Kreativität bei der Organisation des Gepäcks mit den sehr begrenzten Ablage- und Aufbewahrungsmöglichkeiten im Zimmer.

Expensive and not up to expectations
Pros:

Location was good and room was clean. Breakfast buffet was good. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

Beds were uncomfortable. Shower was small, which in of itself is not an issue, but having a shower curtain on it caused it to cling to you as you showered. The hand held wand was broken. There wasn't anywhere to place your personal shower items in shower.

Basically a no frills, drab dorm room
Cons:

Vastly overpriced for what you get - a plain dorm room with a super tight bathroom.
