This hotel was very clean and our room was very spacious. They had a really nice breakfast selection in the morning. And the pool was nice. It does mention that they have laundry, but we asked and she said there is no laundry. Also, they only clean the rooms every other day which we were unaware of. Walkable to the German village, which had a lot of beautiful homes and some restaurants and pastry shops and a really nice bookstore. I would stay here again.

Falsely advertised, dirty, carpet with multiple stains, furniture too old, elevator has barely functioning, smells old. Rates are higher than more advanced hotels. Simply it's a scam advertisement.

Wouldnt stay here again

Negatives: Not the best ammenities, no coffee left for coffee machine in room, no bag for ice. My room smelled absolutely horrible (i even bought air freshener that didnt help at all). There was a toilet plunger left in the hallway near my room. The smell absolutely ruined my ability to be comfortable in the room. Positives: the pool was nice and the room was clean.

Average

Breakfast and service were great. The room was not very clean. It had a weird smell and the carpets were covered in stains. Walking barefoot led to very dirty feet.
