Nice room with comfortable bed. Modern bath. Bright lighting. Good views. Wide breakfast assortment. Parking was close and easy, but if that filled there is more a minute or two walk away. Dining was a cozy wood room. Fish and chicken were very good.

Being from the US, the hotel was the perfect German charm we were looking for. Common area and room was clean and all the employees were very helpful and friendly… and spoke English, which was a plus!! Fantastic German breakfast was included in our room fee. We also had dinner at the attached restaurant. Food was German fare and was wonderful, as was the staff.

Very cute property with excellent views. The front staff was very helpful with accommodating us and our late arrival. The room was nice, though outdated. On the website when translated to English, it stated that there was a restaurant open until 10 and bar until midnight. When we arrived late, we were a little shocked to find out that nothing was open. The breakfast was pretty basic and a little cold. The receptionist showed me where on the website it said things were closed, so I believe it was more of a translation issue on the website, but it was still a bummer when we arrived hungry. Overall, the hotel suited our needs just for the night and heading out early morning. We did not get a chance to try any facilities.
