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.
