"Check-in procedure was a nightmare. After an hour of trying and failing to make the self-check in work, I was lucky to see an employee of the hotel and banged on a window to get their attention, or I might have been sleeping in my car that night. Hotel is down a dirt road past a junk yard and seemed really sketchy. Absolutely terrible experience - stay away!"

10/10 Excellent

"The room with the sofa bed was very spacious, it can easily fit 4 adults. The sofa bed was already out and done (queen size) and was very comfortable, it felt like a regular bed and I loved the fact that I did not have to set it up. There is a "Rewe" grocery store next to the hotel and was convenient for food and toiletries. Lot's of taxis up front in the AM so it's easy to get back to the airport but you could also get the S-Bahn (S8/S9) from Gateway Gardens station. I also saw lots of restaurants around the property.

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent value with good amenities. I only used the room and the breakfast area, but both were modern, clean, and well equipped. The breakfast was ok, nothing special, with very few really healthy choices, and you pay separately for it. The location can't be beat for a pre-flight night, as I used it. If you're energetic, it takes about 30-40 minutes to walk there from the Fernbahnhof at Frankfurt Flughafen, but it would be quicker to take a terminal shuttle to Terminal 2 and walk the rest of the way on the streets.
