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.
