We stayed at Der Shutthof over Thanksgiving weekend and it was a wonderful trip. The trip was arranged through Tyrolian Tours and caters to Americans. It was our first time staying at a place with half board and I was concenred that either the food would not be good or I would get sick of eating at the same place for 4 days straight. I am happy to report that the food was GREAT. The hotel even provided a real Thanksgiving meal. The hotel was clean and comfortable. It is located right next to the ski slopes in Zell Am See.
The room we stayed in was a bit noisy since it faced the street and right across the street was a bar that stayed open late. But the rooms were comfortable and we slept through the noise. You might want to request a room on the other side of the hotel. We also enjoyed the hotel bar after a long day on the slopes.
I think this hotel is a good value for your money. It is in a great location and with the half board option is very affordable.
We were there to ski, but had to ski at the Glacier on Kitzsteinhorn (http://www.kitzsteinhorn.at/) since there was no snow this time of year at Zell am See. The ski bus to the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier stops right in front of the Shutthof.
