"Das Zimmer war sauber und gepflegt und das Personal sehr freundlich und entgegenkommend. Frühstück sehr abwechslungsreich und für jeden was dabei. Abendessen (konnte man zubuchen) war lecker und reichlich. Einzige Manko war, dass 2 Schulklassen zeitgleich da waren und die Geräuschkulisse beim Essen doch sehr laut war. Wir wurden aber "entschädigt" beim Auschecken - vielen Dank nochmal dafür. Mit den besten Grüßen Kerstin und Enrico"
