The owners here are absolutely amazing! I was traveling through Germany and wanted to spend a day in the town I was born in since my family left when I was still a baby. There were no luggage lockers in the city, so we tried a hotel. The owner, Christiana, let me and my friend store our luggage there for the day for free. She was very sweet and kind! I will definitely remember her! If you are looking for a nice family owned hotel, then this is it.
