Best Western Plus Kurhotel an der Obermaintherme

Best Western Plus Kurhotel an der Obermaintherme

10/10 Excellent
"We spent 3 nights at the property and were pleased from check in to check out. We chose this property mainly because of the spa access. You pay a little extra for the spa package but it is well worth it. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful with all my questions. The room was large and well appointed. The breakfast was great. We are already planning a return trip for next year."
