Good sized room in a good location. Only one elevator was working which resulted in some lengthy delays getting to and from the upper levels. More than once during my two week stay I was left with 2 hand towels and no bath towel. Otherwise the stay was great. There's free travel on the Mannheim public ...

Good size room with parking outside. It should have been easy to access from motorway but due to roadworks in the area there was a complicated detour when we visited. Easy to walk into town centre. Good value for money and good chouce for breakfast.
