Sehr angenehmes Kongresshotel. Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Vielen Dank! Das Hotel ist sicher schon etwas älter und nicht barrierefrei aber gepflegt und sehr sauber. Frühstück frisch und lecker.

Wir hatten leider Pech mit unserem Zimmer, es war sehr ausgekühlt und die Heizung funktionierte nicht, auch das 2. Zimmer war sehr ausgekühlt und auch hier funktionierte die Heizung fast gar nicht. Wir haben sehr gefroren und es war nicht gemütlich. Das Personal vor Ort war sehr freundlich.
