Restaurant + hotel not vice versa
Hotel nice but nothing remarkable. Very remarkable on theother hand is the restaurant beloning to the hotel. Outside/inside very nice and delicious.

Wir haben besonders das Frühstück genossen!
Der Zustand der Zimmer ist schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Das sieht man dann unter anderem am Teppichboden und den Fugen im Bad.

Pro: zimmer war perfekt ruhig und parken direkt davor.
Con: frühstück buffet sieht gut aus und ist ausreichend; a b e r die Qualität der Speisen ist schwach; Backwaren richtig billig, obst salat ganz schlimm.
