Pros:

Omgeving, personeel en hygiene.

Cons:

Er wordt vermeld dat het hotel airco heeft. Dit is echter niet op de kamer. Kamer was erg warm bij binnenkomst. Ik heb speciciaal gezocht op hotel met airco.

Schöne und funktionale Unterkunft für Veranstaltungen in herrlicher Natur
Pros:

Hotel ist verkehrstechnisch sehr gut zu erreichen. Lage in herrlicher Umgebung. Viel Natur, Grün, Wald. Der Sportpark ist sehr gepflegt. Es besteht eine angenehm ruhige Atmosphäre. Reichliche Parkplätze. Viele Spazier- und Radwege.
Der Frühstücksraum mit riesigen Fenstern und Ausblick auf den Golfplatz gefällt mir sehr. Wir kommen einmal im Jahr hierher und würden dieses Hotel für unseren Zweck immer wieder nutzen.

Cons:

Das etwas ausdrücklich nicht gefallen hätte, kann man nicht sagen. Es ist ein Sporthotel und daher eher pragmatisch ausgestattet. Übermäßigen Komfort, Luxus o.ä. findet man sicher nicht. Die Zimmergröße ist ausreichend. Die Ausstattung praktisch. Sportler kommen hier her, um in erster Linie den Sportpark zu nutzen. Für uns eine ideale Unterkunft für nicht-Sportveranstaltung auf dem Gelände. Die Bar schloss wohl schon gegen 22.00 Uhr. Da könnte man abends auch gern länger sitzen. Ich persönlich fände eine kleine Kaffee-Maschine im Zimmer gut aber den kann man sich auch im Restaurant oder auf der Terrasse holen.

Pros:

ontbijt was heel druk en rommelig. Te weinig tafels beschikbaar helaas. Ik vond het personeel ook niet goed bijspringen bij de ontbijttafels. Als er iemand klaar was, duurde het lang voordat de tafel schoongemaakt werd. Bestek moest gezocht worden door de gasten zelf.
verder was het uitstekend allemaal.

Decent but definitely not worth the price
Pros:

It’s very new and modern

Cons:

It’s kind of hard to find the actual parking and entrance to the hotel, and the room wasn’t very clean.
