Zentral gelegen, aber trotzdem ruhig.

Sauberere Zimmer und Flure, aber man merkt das alter der Zimmer und Bäder doch an (zB TV mind. 10 Jahre, Duschwanne, gerade für ältere ein Problem etc), aber ruhig gelegen. Tiefgarage vorhanden und reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet.

Das Hotel ist alles in Allem sehr gut, zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber im großen und ganzen funktional und praktisch eingerichtet. Etwas ungewöhnlich und unpraktisch ist die Badewanne mit sehr hohem Einstieg. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist seeeeeeehr gut und vielfältig und reichhaltig, wirklich kaum zu übertreffen.
