Vacations Close To Augsburg Christmas Market

Quaint German Hotel. Great restaurant. We had a fantastic dinner the night of check-in. Unfortunately, we did not stay as we encountered what looked like cockroaches in our room and when we approached the front desk were told "they are not cockroaches" "they are wood bugs from the garden". In this day and age with the internet giving identification capabilities instantly I read "cockroach" and was on the way out. The girl at the front desk then gave me a room in the front of the Hotel w/o a "Garden Room" window. This room had been smoked in and with my asthmatic condition I could not stay especially when I found the same bugs under my nightstand. Come to find out (when I got back stateside) these are Ectobius vittiventris. the Amber Wood Cockroach, Amber Forest Cockroach, or Garden Cockroach. Which are not a storage pest, and completely harmless to humans as they feed only on decomposing plant. Without window screens and no A/C they will be there. I went back the next morning (after finding a great clean bugless hotel at midnight a short drive away) asking for a refund and was summarily dismissed and denied. I did not stay in the Hotel nor eat the "great breakfast" I paid for. Had the management (very combatant) not been insistent the bugs were not cockroaches; and better informed me, I would have stayed and not lost close to a thousand dollars!

We decided to take the extra 10 minutes to drive out to Hotel Gutsgasthof Stangl due to an unexpected overnight stay in Munich instead of staying at the droll options 20 minutes away. I must say it was an extraordinary decision. The property is fabulous, the staff very helpful, and the dinner excellent. We had to leave for our flight before breakfast was served so the kind staff made us sandwiches which we picked up in the morning, such a lovely touch with the stress of flight chaos. Our very short time at this hotel has inspired us to spend more time in Munich!

Clean room , friendly staff, we love it there
