This hotel was a good choice for our family of five. The junior suite comfortably slept all of us, and the grounds were large enough for the kids to have a good run around. There was a small playground and pool, although without a shallow end, wasn't ideal. The hotel restaurant was a wondeful surprise, with excellent service and a gourmet menu. There were two slight drawbacks:
1. the hotel is not in "downtown" Friedrichshafen, but rather 4 km outside of town
2. the hotel last appeared to have been redecorated in the late 70s. Nothing is shabby, or worn - to the contrary - but the color schemes and choice of furniture is somewhat dated.
