Fine hotel for a night (or 2)
We stayed here for one night en route to our wintersport in Austria. It's a fine hotel with a nice restaurant where you can enjoy a nice meal. The only thing that really bothered us was the temperature. It was really hot in the room and you couldn't really do anything about it.
Business Trip
Had a 2 night stay whilst working in the area, colleague recommended it, & we were not disappointed. Rooms comfortable, clean & good shower. Restaurant was excellent, not a massive menu, local dishes cooked really well. Would recommend staying here, 2 mins to the motorway between Stuttgart & Ulm.
Dinner at the restaurant
We were staying at a different hotel and they recommend we eat here. It did not disappoint. Food was excellent as was the service. Very happy we stayed in this small town. We would come to eat here again in our next visit.
Good hotel, staff & restaurant, Wifi needs upgrade
Good hotel and good location for specific businesses. Friendly and professional staff. The restaurant is great quality with local dishes. A couple of things in the room are a bit dated but still OK. What particularly needs a serious upgrade is the Wifi. This is so 2006. Trying to work on two devices (phone and Laptop) is a nightmare and even just working with one you are required to reconnect all the time. The one thing that you will remember after your stay is the Wifi code that you receive at the reception desk. In two night stay probably had to log in more than 50 times.
One of the best on the route Stuttgart to Ulm
We booked the hotel as a stopover to a long European Tour. Close to the main highway it is easy accessible in a very characteristic German village. Gas station and super markets are near by. The hotel has many rooms and it is well maintaned by the family who runs it for centuries. The room we took was spacious, well lighted and beautiful, the bathroom was clean as well as the whole room. We had even a complimentary sparkling water plus a kettle for making coffee and tea. The quality of the bed was very good, no issues. The breakfast was tasty and with a descent variety, even healthy meals are offered. The plenty parking lots gave us easy access to the hotel. Personnel, young people, was helpful and tried to give us solutions and answers. It looks like a family owned hotel having many employees operating as a hotel chain, a very good combination. who ever booked at this hotel try to taste the local and international cuisine at hotel's restaurant, we have a tasteful and well served dinner, really not to miss espeacially after a long road trip.
