For the location and price, it wasn't bad. If you have a need to be on the south side of downtown, I would stay here. Decent price and reasonably clean with a good fitness room. The onsite parking is somewhat limited, and very tight if you have a truck

Fo those visiting German town, the hotel's location is excellent. Restaurant options are good. My room had dirty and stained carpet and sofa. There pieces of food on the floor. I share my pictures showing the problem, and requested to vacuum. It waa not done! I stayed 3 nights. I would not recommend this hotel. This properly does not meet HDI Express hotel standards.

The room was nice. They seem to forget about things such as coffee pods, extra TP, etc. They do check to see if you need sheet changes but then don’t replenish everything. Other than that, the rooms are nice and quiet. Very walkable neighborhood.

Clean, quiet, stay w very soft and comfortable bedding and pillows. Breakfast items had dwindled and were not refilled by the time we went to the breakfast area (9 am) so some choices were slim or empty. Extremely close/easy walking access to German Village, Book Loft, and Cento. Not a super great area but it borders on one and this property is definitely trying. Would stay again!
