quaint hotel
Pros:

Motel style - ( actually we had chalet but inside were rooms.
Oldish building- interesting German town. Lots of nearby cafes and restaurants and nice to walk.
Aircon was pointing at bed so i found i got cold and turned it off then two hours later woke hot and turned it back on- Not best design

Beautiful Old Building in a Quaint Town
Pros:

We had a room in the original building overlooking the main street. It was small, clean, comfy and all we needed. Checkin was in the gaming room, not my cup of tea, but had no problems with it. Didn't eat at the hotel restaurant because there are lots of interesting options within staggering distance. Parking off street was plentiful, which is a good thing because the town is very busy on weekends.

Thursday Steak & Wine night
Pros:

Appears they have a Special most nights. Thursday is Steak & Red Wine night for $35 pp. Excellent value and the steak was very good. Even after a big lunch at The Lane Vineyard, I still managed to eat the whole thing. Special mention to “James”, the young bartender and waiter. A very impressive young man, very welcoming, friendly, and always displaying a positive attitude, even under pressure. You can’t teach that stuff !!

Room was basic but comfortable. Walls are paper thin so you can hear your neighbours snore. Convenient location to shops and restaurants.

Pros:

Property (accommodation) is "getting tired" - service (barely) okay. Better value available in Hahndorf.

Sorry - just being honest.

Great service for meals
Pros:

Not the busiest of places for a meal, but that means you get more personal service and it is worth it. The food was excellent and the steins come in 500ml o 1000ml. Authentic Baufbrau Munich beer!!!

Pros:

Obviously its old, since the whole building was old.
Everything worked well, nice and quiet, just a little "faded" and worn.
Personally, it was part of the charm - it felt like a real old fashioned room.

Pros:

Old style building out the back of the heritage pub. Room was good in being 2 bedroom but definitely could do with an update. Eg no door between master and communal bathroom, no power switches in master bedroom etc. overall a perfectly fine place to stay and checkin was a breeze at the pub. Right on Main Street walkable to everything.
