Mauthausen-Gusen Concentration Camp

This was one our best finds. We were looking for a place that was quiet but still easy enough to visit Linz. This absolutely beautiful property is new and built in what the locals describe as a bit of High Tech village. All the businesses in the village are web based. Having said that there are plenty of cows across the street. The staff are outstanding. We were told the food in the hotel restaurant was very good but there are two restaurants across the street. One is owned by a couple from Nexico and South America. We are in Mexico twice a year and always wary of " Mexican Food " when there is no hispanic population to sipport it and keep it honest. We ate there and were impressed. The only downside to the hotel was the breakfast. It was expensive and sorely lacking compared to all the others we have stayed at on this 3 week trip as well as others. Still a great find. Al Mc Donald

Nice room, comfortable bed, nice layout, but had some drawbacks as well: - could not get the room completely dark because there are no blackout curtains and the external shutter is transparent - the headlamps were not working because the buttons were broken - the shower was smelling very bad, like stale urine
