We expected the worst, being a hotel at a truck stop, but it was the cleanest, most comfortable hotel during our trip. The rooms are nothing fancy but are spacious, working aircon and everything was fresh and clean. Quiet too! Free parking and lots of chargers right in front of the hotel. Pets are welcome too which is just great.

We did not go to the hotel but used the restaurant instead. They have a nice selection of typical German food. The staff is kind and the food tasty. Also no long wait and acceptable prices. Good for a break.

Clean hotel and close to the highway and coffee shops

We needed to take a stopover on a longer drive and this was the perfect hotel with a small kid for a reasonable price.
The rooms were exceptionally clean with all the basics and a comfy bed (baby bed was offered but we did not need it).
Late checking can be arranged with the gas station directly and there's a charging station for e-vehicles.
There's a small playground and a simple but clean restaurant.
But what's best: the lady in the office / at the reception is one of the most professional and nicest hotel staff I have met for a long time. Hope she sees this and keeps up the great job.

Cozy rooms, new furniture, everything is wonderful. A good place to rest and continue on your way. Breakfast is not included in the room rate.

Spontaneously drove off the Autobahn at 11:30 p.m. because we were too tired to continue driving. There were four of us (2 adults/2 children).
At the gas station we quickly got the card and paid for it at a good price. The room was huge and beautiful. Everything very clean and hygienic.
The breakfast was delicious and the area is even child friendly. We felt very comfortable and very relaxed the next morning.
Can only recommend this facility.
