  : It was close to the autobahn.
  : There was no staff/ reception, so you picked up your keys at a desk with your name on it. You couldnt just get a cup of coffee in the morning. In order to get coffee you had to have their breakfast which isnt included in the price of the room. Our room was on the side the road which was very noisy.

  : The Hotel zum Maximilian was, for me, a curates egg of a night's stop. I had completed a 390km motorcycle ride accross southern Germany and was tired and hungry. The hotel presents as a smart modern building in a woodland glade just off a major trunk road roundabout, but is set back a bit from the road and is quiet, at least in the room I had on the ground floor facing into the woods. On arrival, I parked up and went to the front door, only to find it locked, this was the restaurant enterance. Fortunately some guests pointed me around to the other face of the hotel where 'reception' was to be found 'Reception' was a table inside the door with thirty or so envelopes on it with guests names and room numbers on. That was reception. I wandered around for a bit getting an idea of the layout and found my room. Neat, tidy, clean with doors opening onto the garden and a good bathroom and shower with excellent flow of hot water, all in all very acceptable. Beer was dispensed from a chiller on the first floor landing so the world did get better. Breakfast was the usual excellent German offering served in the now open dining room.
  : I had booked the hotel in about April, for a September trip and in the mean time the management had decided to close the restaurant. Being away from the town centre there was no food available. There must have been 60 or so people staying in the hotel, most looking for an evening meal, if the comings and goings were anything to go by. As a motorcyclist, I dislike booking-in and unloading the 'bike, showering after a long, hot, sticky ride and then having to get the gear back on to go out to eat and back again. It is quite different in a town centre, where I usually book accomodation with no evening food service, as I enjoy the walk around the town to select my evening meal from the many offerings. I did not like the low security aspect of the casual envelope distribution of the keys.
