A hotel which a little bit outdated, it has local standard 5 stars The structural condition is rather 3 stars, In the pool often missing the mosaic tiles on the floor, The concrete around the pool bar was not renewed, the grass is growing between the joints The chairs have already gotten a bit old, sand off and redecorate would be an advantage There is a large krähenproblem, the leftovers are on the lawn, But also on the chairs and loungers visible, not to mention the dauerkrach.
