Leider war es in diesem Haus noch nicht einmal möglich zum Frühstück Spiegeleier zu bekommen. Das ist selbst bei einfachen Hotels möglich. Dafür war der Preis in einer Region in der ich so etwas einfach erwarte. Ich werde auf jeden Fall das Hotel nicht mehr aufsuchen. Wer immer in der Bewertung und meinte das Frühstück sei super, dem sage ich nur es war okay aber es gibt für deutlich weniger Geld bessere Erfahrungen!
