“Great Service, Wonderful Breakfast”

I checked into my room, to find a snack of apples, kiwi, and cookies waiting. In the room was a push-button espresso machine, which ground the beans, and heated water from a reservoir, ready at any time. The room was up to date and comfortable, and slightly different from chain hotel rooms. It had a corner table with built in wood seating; the toilet was in a separate (tiny) room from the shower/bath; there was a french door to an small outside seating area, all of which added to the charm and comfort of the room. Breakfast was stupendous Bavarian buffet of yogurts, meats, breads, eggs, juices, coffee/tea. I did not use the spa facilities, but these seemed popular, as I would spot guests popping downstairs in robes. Internet connectivity is important to me, so I was a tiny bit disappointed that instead of WiFi, there was only in-room V-DSL (the desk gives you a power plug out of which comes an ethernet cable, which works for a laptop, but not for my tablet computer or my smartphone). The service was extremely helpful, friendly, and deferential; my German isn't up to it, but their English was. The hotel location was easy walking district to a boutique/restaurant area, which had great dining options, to the Congress/conference hall where my conference was located, and to the rail station (although not too close that you would hear trains at all; and, if you have more luggage than you can easily carry, you'll need to get a cab anyhow).
