"Es war ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt im Hotel City Krone. Das Zimmer war modern und hell eingerichtet, sehr sauber. Der Wellnessbereich lädt geradezu zur Erholung ein. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet und die Bedienungen sehr freundlich. Positiv hervorzuheben ist auch, das an einem Abend die Bar abends gegen Schließzeit noch sehr gut gefültt war und das Rezeptionspersonal nach dem offiziellen Ende eingesprungen ist, um "einfache Wünsche" wie Wein, Bier, Softgetränke noch zu erfüllen..."
