Location, Location, Location. Pirmasens is a hidden jewel mixing new and old Germany. A lively town that seems to have ongoing summer festivities every day, not just on weekends. The hotel is with a short walk of shopping, dining, and entertainment. The only drawbacks were the lack of A/C (record breaking heat wave during my stay) and a tended bar (would have been great to go downstairs for a cold draft beer on those hot nights. The staff are attentive and the facilities are well maintained. Get ready for Euro size parking. I will choose this hotel again.
