The hotel makes a very good impression from the outside and has plenty of free parking.The reception at the front desk was very friendly and courteous. The only annoyance in the room, which was large enough overall, was the constant supply of cool air via a room ventilation system (not the air conditioning system that can be switched off, this was switched off and in another corner of the room), which could not be switched off. The breakfast was very good and varied.

Achtung, hier werden 4-Sterne suggeriert mit einem entsprechenden Preis und sehr gut getroffenen Fotos. Das sind maximal 2-Sterne! Das Hotel ist stark in die Jahre gekommen, erinnert an ein klassisches Motel wie man sie in USA oder Australien kennt - da geht man aber auch mit einer anderen Erwartungshaltung hin. Keine Ahnung wie das überhaupt 4 Sterne bekommen konnte oder ob sie sich dei 4 Sterne selber gegeben haben. Das Frühstück war ok, das Abendbuffet eine Zumutung. Pommes, Nudelsalat und völlig trockene Fleischstücke. Bei 250EUR pro Nacht fühlt sich das nach Abzocke an. Den Pool den man auf den Bildern sieht gehört zu einem Nachbargrundstück und war geschlossen, nachdem ab Mitte August die Urlaubssaison beendet ist. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt hat übrigens auch die Pipi Langstrumpf Welt nur noch am Wochenende geöffnet.

Frukosten behöver utökas

Det var dammigt under bäddsoffan i rummet. Alldeles för trångt runt frukostbuffébordet. För kallt i frukostmatsalen. Tyvärr inte våfflor till frukosten och utbudet av bröd var bara två olika att välja på. Inget lättsamt bröd som barn tycker om. Ingen brödrost eller rostbröd. Inga vitabönor. Köttbullarna var jättegoda till frukost! Inte glad eller hjälpsam personal under frukost. Jättebra personal i receptionen och mannen utanför receptionen. Tofflorna på rummet är alldeles för små för män. Morgonrocken hade trasiga hällor för knytbandet och saknade dessutom knytband. Ingen förvaringsmöjlighet i rummet förutom ett skrivbord. Mysigt med biovisning för barn. Fåtöljerna utanför lekrummet har stora fläckar.
