Wir haben auf dem Weg nach Süden hier übernachtet und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel kann ich empfehlen, zumal es nah an der Autobahn liegt und trotzdem ruhig im Dorf gelegen ist.

Restaurant ist eher zu gehoben, qualitativ & preislich. Generell ist das Personal sehr hilfsbereit & spürbar im Teamgeist. Technik des Fernsehers erforderte zu 2 Aufenthalten in kurzem Abstand jeweils Nachbesserungen, die aber zügig erfolgten. Angebot mit deutlich niedrigerem Preis hatte Dachschrägen

Wunderschönes Wochenende

Nach einem Stadtbummel in Ulm könnten wir den Tag mit einem unglaublich leckeren Essen im Ochsen ausklingen lassen. Beruhigend, wenn man sich im gleichen Haus auf ein herrliches Hotelzimmer freuen kann. Die Servicekraft im Restaurant war informiert, dass wir Hotelgäste waren und hat uns sehr zuvorkommend bedient. Auch das Frühstücksbuffet am nächsten Morgen war sehr sehr schön angerichtet, es fehlte an nichts. Hotel und Restaurant sind sehr zufrieden empfehlen, erwartet man in dieser Lage nicht unbedingt.Wir kommen mit Sicherheit wieder.
