Hotel was in great condition and clean--reasonably priced. The location is the downtown area near the train station. This area is ethnically diverse. Some of the buildings are covered with graffiti, initially giving a little concern about safety, but, when we walked through the area, we felt relatively safe--people were friendly. The hotel has a gated parking lot that seems to have surveillance to provide safety for vehicles parked there--reasonable parking price. Staff was helpful in assisting us to find a restaurant to eat at in the later evening. Unfortunately, on arriving at that restaurant, we learned that we needed a reservation. The restaurant referred us to a pizzaria a few blocks away. The menu included pizza, but also all sorts of pasta meals cooked under the direction of the Italian immigrant owner and his wife. Our meals were delicious and authentic, and the atmosphere was cozy, friendly, and informal. The owner came to our table, and we had a friendly conversation with him in the little Italian we could speak. We really enjoyed this mom-and-pop restaurant with good food and friendly, family-centered staff. We enjoyed staying at this nice, reasonably-priced hotel with friendly staff, and we enjoyed getting to know some of the area, as we went out to eat. We have pleasant memories from our stay, as we prepared to fly out from Duesseldorf.
