As of writing this review they have 3.5 stars but I would give the hotel 4 stars at least. This was one of the few times where they did not speak english as well as we would have liked. This does not bother me at all, since when Europeans come to the USA, they really must speak english. If you think about that it’s very true. We asked the girl at the front desk where we may find a gas station and she ran off and got us the luggage cart and stood next to the elevator waiting for us. The parking lot is very tiny here so I am guessing not many guests have a car and a gas station is not close by but we did manage to fill the tank and return the car before moving on to Paris. Except for that funny story all was good. Yes, free breakfast and free wifi with convenient location for the train. — 4 stars recommended.

Für eine Nacht geht es. Das ist mein Fazit, ohne das Frühstück zu kennen. Vier Sterne sind eigentlich eine sichere Bank, hier aber nicht dem Vorgefundenen entsprechend. Insgesamt ist das Zimmer deutlich in die Jahre gekommen und die Reinigung(Spinnenweben in den Ecken) scheint sich auf das Wesentliche zu beschränken. Das Bad ist dagegen noch halbwegs fit, auch wenn der Duschgriff aus der Wand gerissen ist und nun in der Wanne montiert wurde. Was Duachvorleger vor dem Bett sollen hat sich mir nicht erschlossen, da soll sich jeder selbst Gedanken machen. Ich habe nicht darunter geschaut. Positiv: sehr zentral gelegen und trotzdem halbwegs ruhig.

Was here for an extended stay a few years ago with a group of friends. It’s a lovely hotel, just a short walk from the hauptbahnhof(train station). They staff are polite, helpful and friendly. Rooms are small, in the typical European style. Beds are narrow«single» beds that can be pushed together to form a double. There isn’t a lot of space for open suitcases in their standard rooms unless you get a single room(which is a lot like a dorm room) or the larger«suite» which has a couch and a sitting area(also his and hers sinks in the bathroom, a stand-up shower and also a bathtub!). When you check in you are given a hotel«passport» which you show to the desk clerk each time you return to the hotel and they give you back your hotel key. The key is a big heavy metal security key on a heavy key fob so it’s not fun to carry around, and this way if you are sharing rooms your roommates know if someone is in the room or not. The elevator is tiny and slow — but at least there is one. Other than checking in and out with my big luggage, I used the stairs every other time because it wasn’t worth waiting for the elevator. The breakfast here was wonderful. I would stay here if only to have their breakfasts — the hot chocolate is fabulous!
