    Friendly and accommodating staff. Absolutely immaculate property, inside and out. Lovely hotel with lots of character. Only 5 minutes to the Friedrichshafen Messe, where we were going to see an expo.

    The hotel is situated at a very nice location away from crowded Bodensee. The ambiance of the hotel restaurant, especially the table setting outdoors, was impressive.
