AKZENT Hotel Merfelder Hof

If air conditioning is a requirement, be sure to request this upfront while booking. Not all rooms have air conditioning. I didn't realize this until I arrived and by then all the A/C rooms were booked. Based on Trip Advisor and Google, it appeared all rooms had air conditioning (Management- you need to correct this until all rooms have A/C). The room had a small desk, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and plenty of 220v outlets. Breakfast will appear as a separate charge on the bill (currently 20 euro), so if traveling for work this is something to consider (i.e., breakfast is not included with the room). There is a restaurant that I didn't try but, after the first night, most of my coworkers ate elsewhere (I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions). The staff is friendly. The bar closes at 10:00pm, so don't expect to get a late drink. The hotel is well situated within walking distance of downtown shops. Hotel parking is limited but ample parking appears nearby in a public lot. The hotel claims to have free WiFi but I couldn't get it to work and just used my cell phone data. Small TV with only two English-speaking channels (Bloomberg and Euro News)- but hey, it's Germany so that's expected.
