Although not the "centre of the universe", Hagaenau is a useful half-way point to other destinations. Arriving tired after a days' driving, it was easy to check in. The rooms are basic, but all one needs for a brief stay. Airconditioning was a plus, so near the busy road.
Food at the attached restaurant was very high quality, and good value.
Staff helpful with early morning call for onward journey. Enjoyable experience altogether.
