The hotel is in a great location. Free breakfast is fantastic. My room was cleaned only one time for a weeks stay. That needs improvement. Water pressure is low. Could be better. Overall a nice hotel.

I had 2 back to back reservations at this hotel, one booked at the hotel and one booked through Expedia. To avoid changing rooms during my stay, I had to downgrade my reservation made directly with the hotel, therfore, I assume, they were not able to honor my VIP status. The hotel is very quaint, and clean. I found my room to be exceptionally noisy from road traffic. Based on my experience so far, I don't think that I would stay here again, I didn't find it to be a good value.

Nice historic hotel in a good location. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was GREAT with a full selection of fresh items. The coffee, tea, hot chocolate station in the lobby was also very nice. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom could use some updating though. We would definitely stay there again.

Well if you are interested in an old style historic hotel, then this is the place to go and stay. They offer in room massage service for few bucks which is a gem. I was amazed by their hospitality and specially the breakfast. It was one the best breakfast services I have ever seen. Will go there again

Loved our stay at this historic hotel

This hotel is quite a find. Loved the unique-ness of this historic hotel. We were in town for a wedding, and had about 8 rooms rented in all, they were each unique with the room layout. but all quite spacious. Hot breakfast with lots of options. Only downside was the coffee, recommend going to German bakery/coffee shop which was just a 5 minute walk away. (the apple struedel was excellent!)

We stayed in room 319. Room was cosy and reasonably well appointed, althoughthere was a distinct lack of mirrors, no bedside lamp on one side. Bathroom was cramped. The hotel was once a historic building. One the ground floor the dining room was spacious and the breakfast offering very good. They use proper plates and cutlery unlike a lot of hotels. A good selection of hot and cold food on offer. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pool outside was good but located right next to a busy junction, so at times very noisy. Stays automatically qualify for their friends and family loyalty awards, so the next stay gets you better rates and a free room upgrade if booked direct. Would stay again
