Alles ausser Restaurant Hammetschwand war ok. Dort ist Selbstbedienung angesagt, was ich gut verstehe. Selber abräumen finde ich ok. Aber die Gäste werden gebeten, die Tische selber zu reinigen, was ich eine Zumutung finde, insbesondere da kein entsprechendes Reinigungsmaterial zur Verfügung steht. Das Personal dürfte schon einmal einen Rundgang machen um zu sehen, dass alles i.O. ist. Ferner war noch ein Hinweis da: "Toiletten geschlossen". Bessere Kommunikation wäre angesagt!
