Bathroom need a refurbishment to match the bedroom, quite dated with cracked floor tiles. All the upstairs rooms/corridor have very squeaky floors.

A comfortable hotel with excellent staff.
Pros:

Staff were extremely good, helpful and responsive. Other than breakfast we didn’t eat at the hotel but apparently the food is good. The beds and pillows were very comfortable, particularly for side sleepers.
Appreciated the free parking.

Cons:

The upstairs rooms are not soundproofed, but if you’re a good sleeper shouldn’t be a problem.

Es war bis auf das Frühstück ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt
Pros:

Die Lage war gut. Das Hotel insgesamt hat uns gefallen. Das Zimmer war schön. Das Bad war modern und sehr sauber.

Cons:

Zum Frühstück gab es kein Buffet. Es gab eine Karte. Es fehlte leider die Information, dass die Bestellungen limitiert waren. Nach 3 Bestellungen, egal was, war Schluss und man sollte zuzahlen. Also war nach einem Croissants, einem kleinen Jogurt und ein paar kleinen Fruchtstücken Schluss. Fanden wir sehr schade. Ist uns auf unserer Rundreise auch nur hier so passiert, dass wir noch hungrig vom Frühstück weggegangen sind.
