2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Schmuddelig, abgewohnt und nicht sicher. Zimmer haben keine Verriegelung und das Grundstück ist von Außen frei zugänglich. Die Sterne dieser Hütte wurden offenbar auf dem Parkplatz gekauft! Eine Zumutung. Bauschutt von der letzten Renovierung ( die gefühlte 50 Jahre her ist) liegt noch immer hinterm Waschbecken. Es riecht im Zimmer wie das warme Wasser aus der Dusche! Nie wieder!
