Zimmer renovierungsbedürftig. Super nettes, aber ungeschultes Personal, z.B. keine Hilfe bei Zimmer Finden und Gepäck beim Check In, zu wenig Klopapier auf dem Zimmer, Fön hat nicht funktioniert. Restaurant hat sehr leckeres Essen und ebenso liebes Personal, dass leider etwas überfordert wirkt. Lage zu Flughafen ist top, Anlage per sé sehr schön
