Voor herhaling vatbaar (m.u.v. warme zomers)
Hotel heeft tmaar 1 minpuntje... Geen airconditioning... En dat in augustus. Voor de rest, alles is super netjes, ruime kamer (comfort), gratis parkeren, ontbijtbuffet à € 9,- p.p. Schloss Karlsruhe op loopafstand, onderweg kom je diverse overheidsgebouwen (gerecht) tegen.
Rewe supermarkt op nog geen 100 meter afstand.
