"Das Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Der öffentliche Bereich ist durchaus in Ordnung. Das Zimmer, eine Junior Suite hat den Charme der 80iger Jahre mit vielen Mängeln. Auch das hat hat viele Mängel. So sind die Fließen kaputt, die Schmutzränder bekommt man offensichtlich nicht mehr gesäubert. Die Webseite des Hotels verspricht u.a. Restaurant mit Mittags- und Abendangebot, eine Bar und anderes. Einzig das Frühstücksrestaurant und ein Fitnessbereich mit zwei Hometrainern ist vorhanden....
