"Abseits im Gewerbegebiet. Haus ist gut, modern, Check-in Prozess aber schlecht, nervig und umständlich. Geht nur mit Smartphone und Internet, sollten Gäste ohne deutsches Netz wissen. Und dann muss man nach zig Formularen und Buchungsnummer kopieren einen Balken im Bildschirm schieben, was mit Taschen in der Hand und bei einer derart schwergängigen Tür eine Katastrophe ist. Hier gibt es kein Personal, das steht aber such vorher in der Beschreibung."
