Hotel in hervorragender Lage. Kostenlose Parkplätze. Ordentliches Frühstück. Hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal. Sauber und funktionell, aber sehr in die Jahre gekommen und verwohnt. Wo nimmt man z.B. sonst noch Lochkarten als Türöffner.

Das Hotel ist in die nähe von der Altstadt, sehr praktisch zum spazieren und schoppen. Trotzdem ist in ein ruhiger Umgebung. Der Frühstück hat ein grösser Wahl für der erst Tag ,aber danach merkt man ist immer der gleiche egal wie lang deiner Aufenthalt ist,dass ist aber schade. Sonst ist Empfehlenswert, bei der Empfangen gab bestimmt Personal die mit sein Hilfsbereite und Freundlichkeit geben mehr als drei Stern für diese Hotel. Ich bedanke mich bei diese!
