Modern design. Only a shower but very spacious. I paid about $100 euros but then a convention came to town and the prices changed. Breakfast was very nice buffet.

Where is the minus stars selection. Never have a stayed at a hotel that claims to have 4 stars and…read moreyet cannot even get the basics right. The air conditioning is like an asthmatic ant trying to blow out birthday candles (I could not get the room temperature below 27C this past weekend). The wifi is two yoghurt pots and a piece of string repeated speed tests have yielded an AOL dial up record speed of 0.45mbps and this is the fastest I just got 0.11mbps. Pretty sure Morse code is faster. And finally just when I though I would go "old school" and turn on the TV i get a broken picture sound that keeps cutting out. Upon raising this with the front desk, a jiggle of the cable behind the TV and brief hand in front of the useless air conditioning unit I got given a new wifi code. Needless to say none of these things are resolved and I tuck with my only course of action. A 1 star review on yelp, not that anyone reads this in Europe anyway. Whatever you do, don't stay here.

Nigl makes a very versatile, easily drinkable one. Apparently they have a hotel and restaurant on their property too. Would be pretty cool to stay, eat and drink yourself into a stupor at this locale. However for now,Ill enjoy the wine with Corey Lee's excellent cuisine...
