Wir hatten einen super Ausblick, mit Blick auf die Berge. Zimmer sauber, Personal immer hilfsbereit und freundlich! Frühstück hatte ein ausgiebiges Angebot! Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und vieles mehr war innerhalb von 5 Minuten Gehweg zu erreichen. Bustransfer zum Flughafen vorhanden, klappte auch alles reibungslos.
