My stay at Pension Max was a mix of great vibes and a few bumps. The location is truly ideal—just a short stroll to the city center and the lake. I was lucky enough to have a cozy room with a lovely view, and the breakfast spread was delicious. However, I did have some trouble with parking and found the internet speed a bit lacking at times.
