Very close to Stuttgart airport, extremely nice staff, clean and secure parking. Breakfast had a good variety and good seating. Fun airplane theme throughout the hotel. The bed however was as hard as a rock and the pillow was the thinest pillow I’ve ever seen in a hotel. Shame was otherwise great value for money.

At first I received a smaller room than I booked (I booked a queen sized bed) but it was exchanged quickly. The restaurant and bar inside the hotel were closed during the weekend. But there are some grocery stores not far away as well as a brewery/restaurant. Getting to the airport was easy using the U line, the station is not far away but you have to download their app to buy a ticket, not easy for everyone. But you can always get a cab.

let's pretty this way I made reservations at that place I am handicapped I had to get one of the cooks to help me to my room I guess I was supposed to take three suitcases with my leg had three surgeries being injured as in Nevada state place let's go to the second part I'm ready to leave and go to Stuttgart so I went picked up my car around the corner where I parked it I come back parked in the front to get my bags I got locked out of the room 11 o'clock I had made to open up my room so I could get my suitcases out I went and talk to the guy downstairs I said would you like me out for he would not answer me i'll help you help me you locked me out of my room I would've brought one bag at a time down so you know what I would say everything nasty about your hotel because when you lock somebody out at 11 o'clock when you're checking out and the normal time for check out is 12 o'clock so you know what you're getting bad reviews and I will make sure some of my friends that I was visiting here in Germany to pass on the nastiness of this hotel locking an individual out of their room at 11 o'clock in the morning did he say sorry no he did not

When we got there we were told that the restaurant and bar were closed. We asked why and we’re told that the barman was sick. On asking why that would close the restaurant we got a shrug. I visited this hotel with two colleagues who have disabilities, one in a wheelchair and the reason for picking all our hotels were that they had good transport links and had bar and restaurant facilities. I asked to discuss this with the Manager to be told he was off for the weekend, when I enquired again on the Tuesday he was on a conference call and couldn’t see me. The hotel was busy with Scottish visitors over for the football and it was the view of the majority that this was the reason for the closure. We were told there were plenty of restaurants in the area but not everyone was able to make the significant journey. A very poor advertisement for German hospitality. We stayed in two other hotels while we were there and were welcomed and made to feel that they enjoyed our company. I would not recommend staying in this establishment if you are visiting Stuttgart there are many better ones.

Good business hotel
Small group on business trip to the exposition. The hotel is good. No frills, no luxury, no superfluous things, anyway what you would expect from a business hotel is pretty much all there. The staff has been kind all the time. The restaurant doesn't have a very large menu selection, however it is fine for a dinner without having to go out of the hotel. We ate there and were happy. Clean and quiet rooms, air conditioning, complimentary water bottle, clean bathroom. The shower is not completely enclosed and some water spills on the bathroom floor, but it is definitely a minor problem. Breakfast is good and varied enough for a hotel of this category. For a business stay I would recommend it. We could not have asked for more.

Stuffy Room / Poor Bedding
The bedding was not comfortable. The pillows were poor quality and the blanket was too bulky for the time of year. The air filtration system did not work correctly, and opening the window next to Freeway B27 was extremely loud. There was no way to cool the room since the staff shut off the air conditioning. I recommend they leave the AC on during the fall so guests do not have to open the windows and listen to 24-hour highway noise. The mini-fridge in the room did not work well, there was nowhere to get ice to cool drinks. The parking garage was super tight and was even difficult to get my 2-door coupe into a parking space without blocking someone else in. Positives: TV worked well and breakfast was adequate.

The check-in process was unpleasant. I was sent to a room that was already occupied at midnight and the person in the room was woken up by me and we surprised each other. Room was clean by right by the highway so there was a lot of noise from cars roaring by even if the window was fully closed.

Don’t damage your car entering the garage!!
Parking garage very difficult to get in to. Front desk should inform drivers to go around the block and enter from the right. Entering from the left can present possible accident both due to oncoming traffic and a 120 degree turn into the garage entrance. Doing that with a rented SUV was both scary and frustrating. Informing the customer would have made all the difference. Courtesy

They took the money and Ran
Reception was pleasant upon arrival. I immediately asked where to park and was told to drive around back of the building. Once I got there, I hit "REZEPTION" on the buzzer and eventually the bar came up. Two days later upon checkout I mention that it takes a long time to get the garage open, and I'm asked why I'm not using my card. I never received a 'card' for parking. So AFTER checking out, she demands to know WHO checked me in and why I didn't PAY for parking. Even though the first question I asked prior to even receiving the hotel room card was to inquire about parking. So then they DEMANDED I now pay €30 in order to leave the garage. No apologies for their mistake Just 'shut up/pay up'. Too bad, it wasn't a horrible place, but absolutely no finesse at Customer Service. I won't stay there again.

Practical and effective
Hotel is a good choice for a night near the airport to catch a morning flight. It still requires a bus ride, subway ride, or a taxi to travel to or from the airport; but these are short rides. I recommend the bus as it stops directly in front of the door and takes less than 15min. However, it only goes every 60min. Taxi drivers won't like the trip as it is too short for them. Hotel is very clean, comfortable and has nice sized rooms. Breakfast is good, staff is friendly and hotel bar/restaurant is what you need. One disadvantage is that there are no other dining options nearby but an Aldi and a Lidl across the street allow last minute shopping of essentials.

Then are forced to bang drop stumble through those ridiculous revolving doors . And there are no other customers . The least she can do would be to leave her throne and open the door. That applied only to the night receptionist the morning one was superb and vvv helpfull. 3) Very good Chinese restaurant and take away nearby , Aldi , Lidl nearby 4) Very popular Indian restaurant very close by .

It was a very nice and well kept place, from the staff at the front desk to the housekeepers. The front desk clerks spoke English confidently and did not miss a beat when I spoke zero German. It was very welcoming. The food was well enough in the hotel, it wasn't gourmet bit it was delicious, the beer was refreshing and the service was efficient. The rooms were nice and clean, smelled fresh, the amenities were stunning, the only thing they could improve on in my eyes; usb charging ports in the rooms/lobby. The room itself had more than 7 plugs in the wall available, many at table height and near both sides of the bed. I will be staying there again next month and look forward to the great night's sleep. On that note, I could hear another guest somewhere talking loudly and slamming a door from in my bed, it didn't last long but what else do you expect with young businessmen and women? Cheers for the lovely night's rest.

Staff was very poor. There was parking free around the corner but the women directed me to the $15 hotel lot. There was plenty of free parking. The worst was the women at the desk in the morning. My wife got a coffee near the front desk. Now, in any other hotel, if there was coffee at the entrance it for guests. The women started to shout that the coffee was not for guests. If so, there should be a sign, I'd say. No such thing. I will not stay here.
