Very Good!
Pros:

The stay was very pleasant in a very nice place with family and friends. The food was very good and we had dinner at the backyard and you can see the lake view. The room was clean and fresh. Really like the high ceiling. Would really recommend!

Schöner Zwischenstopp
Pros:

Wir hatte das Zimmer im 2. Stock Richtung Parkplätze. Das Zimmer war ansprechend eingerichtet, das Bett sehr gross und das Zimmer hatte einen kleinen Balkon. Wir konnten sehr gut schlafen und das Frühstück war sehr umfangreich: hausgemachte Kuchen, leckere Croissants, Müsli, frisches Obst und herzhafte Speisen.

Cons:

Das Rauchen auf den Balkonen und Terrassen hat uns gestört, da der Rauch auch auf unserem Balkon und durch das geöffnete Fenster/Tür ins Zimmer zog.

Abends aßen wir im Hotelrestaurant. Das Risotto mit Barschfilet war sehr lecker. Die Lammkoteletts bestanden leider größtenteils aus Knochen und waren daher enttäuschend. Wir hatten bereits in anderen Bewertungen gelesen, dass die Erfahrungen sehr unterschiedlich sind.

Lugar tranquilo y bien ubicado
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

Quizá la habitación un poco pequeña cuando la pedí triple.
Leí en todos los comentarios que el desayuno era excelente y es normal. No hay nada destacable.
