My wife and I have already been to a few hotels but what we experienced there, the name hotel is already borderline. Rooms totally unclean, shutters that barely move, carpet covered in stains, a parking lot at the house that resembles a lake landscape, junk around the hotel, security standards are not maintained, fire alarms have been removed from the ceiling, if you are drunk you can stay there but you should sober up you let it go.

The room was old and shabby, the mattress was worn out and I also had to make a nightly trip to the emergency pharmacy because I had a massive reaction to house dust mites.The towel rack in the bathroom was just decoration and you hear every word that is said in the guest room. Various damages in the hallway, the carpet on the skirting board came up, etc.But the highlight was to then charge 70 euros per night for two people, even though it was communicated differently on the phone (35 per night).Otherwise I would definitely have chosen another, cleaner hotel.

Service is extremely unfriendly and you don't feel welcome as a visitor. Garden area is quite ok and interiors are actually nice.
