Convenient hotel for transit. Close from the Autobahn. Pros: Good bed, very clean sheets, good shower, friendly employees, good breakfast. A supermarket next to the hotel. Cons: no airconditioning in the room. Not possible to sleep with open windows, given the LKW transit noise.

Halt ein Hotel für die Durchreise. Im Gewerbegebiet liegend. Das Bad hat fürchterlich gerochen. Zimmer gerade so für eine Nacht mit drei Personen groß genug. Beim Frühstück war die Brötchenauswahl top beim Aufschnitt nur unteres Mittelmaß

Disappointing

20 mins for someone to come and open the hotel for us as we had a late check in. Very bad info on this on the hotel info. Breakfast was disappointing, cold eggs, very little choice. Not worth the money we paid.

Goed hotel

Mooi hotel, goede bedden. Lekker ontbijt. Ik miste airco op de kamer, warme kamer. Ligt op een industrie terrein, wat lawaaiig. Makkelijk op doorreis.
