Lovely spot, excellent staff, beds uncomfortable.

Lovely spot and very peaceful, hotel was very quiet of guests. Staff were very friendly especially the car park attendent whom gave such a warm welcome. Room was large, shame very minimal tea and milk supplies especially for the room rate. Hair dryer did not work but someone came and fixed it promptly. We have stayed in lots of different hotels and the one dissapointment was the bed as so hard and I like a firm mattress but it was Rick hard for my standards so did not sleep well which was a total shame.

Das ist KEIN 5 Sterne Hotel! Wahrscheinlich haben sie die Sterne selbst gemalt, anderst kann ich es mir nicht erklären, ebensowenig wie die guten Bewertungen hier. Jeder der Erfahrung im diesem Hotelsegment hat wird sich, wie wir, nach Ankunft überlegen, ob es sich nicht trotz bereits bezahltem Preis lohnt das Hotel zu wechseln. Die Mitarbeier sind meist freundlich aber das ist auch alles. Alle sind heillos überfordert und an Inkompetenz nicht zu überbieten. Das Frühstück ist eine Zumutung, wenig Auswahl und alles Fertigprodukte die wie hingeworfen daliegen. Man ist gezwungen in einem Gang zu essen da der Aufwand, das Restaurant und die Terrasse einzudecken, nicht betrieben wird. Das Daily Cleaning darf man auf keinen Fall vor 16.00 Uhr erwarten. Als wir einmal anriefen und darum baten, dass das Zimmer gereinigt wird, wurden wahrscheinlich aus Frust meine Schuhe quer durch das Zimmer verteilt, mein Rucksack auf den Boden geworfen und meine Badezimmersachen teils ins Waschbecken geworfen. Generel hat das Hotel keinen Platz für die Menschen die es beherbergt. Der Poolbereich ist chronisch überfüllt (übrigens sehr idyllisch neben der Strasse gelegen), ebenso wie der Frühstücksbereich und die Garage. Von einem Parkservice träumt man übrigens auch vergeblich. Beim Auschecken wurden wir abgehandelt und nicht einmal gefragt wie uns der Aufenthalt gefallen hat. Für Leute ohne grosse Ansprüche ist dieses Hotel sicher OK, für uns waren es leider keine denkwürdigen Ferien.
