라크베레 호텔

This is a nice Baltic German manor hotel, and we were lucky to be here in sunshine and warmth (I had been here twice before). Lovely grounds, a magnificent, large new spa, very good reception staff, and the function rooms for business quite good. But my room had torn mosquito screens, and a foul smell emanated from the bathroom. There was no housekeeping during our stay, and the dark rooms were three-star at best. Breakfast was even worse, with a very slim selection and few truly tasty selections (lots of high-carb things, old bread), and the dinners were okay food-wise but brought down by genuinely unfriendly, rude waitresses, especially an old one with badly-colored red hair. Transport logistics had several hiccups, and all this added up to an experience that was subpar and at best satisfactory, but not more.
