"During our 200 Years of Silent Night trip with the Edtbrustner travel agency, my parents and I had the opportunity to spend two nights at this wonderful hotel. We were so comfortable, and found the rooms to be delightful, spacious and clean. All our meals were very good, and just what we wanted. The snow also helped to put us in the proper Christmas mood :-)"
