Perfect for one night stop

Perfect for the passing through traveler needing the one night stay. I can't say much about Dannevirke as we were there on a holiday and everything was closed.

Comfortable visit.

I was in Dannevirke for a school reunion and staying on my own. The bed was comfortable and linen lovely crisp white. Everything I needed for my stay was there. Traffic at night a bit noisy.
