We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lady at the desk was so professional and so friendly. We loved being able to walk to German village. We had a lovely dinner. The pool is very nice. It’s right on high Street, which is a busy street, but that’s just fine. We appreciated the very good ground coffee machine in the lobby.
