    Die Umgebung ist recht nett in diesem Hotel. Der Service war nicht so gut. Beim check-in nach 14:00 Uhr musste ich erst warten, weil das Zimmer noch nicht fertig war. Ich hatte eine Bestätigung meiner Buchung, in der angegeben war, dass ich ein Zimmer mit einer Sitzecke gebucht hatte. Ich hatte lediglich ein Zimmer mit Doppelbett. Die fehlende Sitzecke wurde beim Check-in reklamiert. Man hatte jedoch kein Verständnis und keine Lösung. Der Fehler wurde auf Hotel.com geschoben, die in der Beschreibung nicht korrekt seien. Die tägliche Ration Wasser wurde nicht unaufgefordert gebracht. Ich musste regelmäßig daran erinnern. Handtücher waren auch nur für eine Person vorhanden, obwohl für 2 Personen gebucht. Die Rezeption war regelmäßig unbesetzt. Die Schlüssel der Gäste, die außer Haus waren lagen für jeden zugänglich auf dem Tresen. Das Frühstück war äußerst einfach ohne eine Variation. Toast, Eier, eine Wurst, etwas Bacon. Obst wurde noch reichlich angeboten.…
