Thr hotel itself was nice and located right in the center of the town. Parking was supposedly sufficient but pretty limited as there were a lot of parked cars. What we considered quite disappointing was that there was no open restaurant in the hotel at 20:45 however it was half board service... Nevertheless we got a lunch package für the next day instead...
