  Clean Room at a Good Price

  We booked this hotel for our second night of a weekend hiking trip from Bad Harzburg to Ilsenburg in the Harz National Park. It is not as close to the national park entrance as some of the other hotels, but it's cheaper because of that. The hotel was clean, the corner room we stayed in was spacious, and the rate was cheap (about 76 Euros for the night). We were just looking for a place to stay after a long hike, so weren't trying to find a romantic spot or memorable hotel. It worked for what we wanted. The "average" rating comes from the accumulation of a few small items that some travelers might want to be aware of. First, this hotel is on the busiest street in Ilsenburg (you'd think it was a sleepy little town, but this road is a major thoroughfare) so the room was a little noisy at night due to road traffic. Not so bad that we couldn't sleep, but it prevented us from opening up the windows. Second, there is a 1.50 Euro "resort fee" (or something like that) per person that you have to pay up front. Not the hotel's fault - guests at all hotels have to pay it. You get a coupon book (which we couldn't really use) and it's not a lot of money. Just be ready. Third, the man who checked us in was very pleasant and helpful. The woman who checked us out was less so. As she was preparing our bill, I asked to buy a map they had next to the desk (a nice touch). She had already printed the bill, which she proceeded to tear up after a heavy sigh and a gruff look. I don't know why she couldn't just ring it up separately. No skin off my back - she was the one that was upset, and it was no big deal. But it wasn't a very good lasting impression to leave with us. Finally, and probably most importantly, the restaurant was "closed" while we were there. We inquired about it's availability when we checked in, and the man said "I'll have to check with my wife." Not good. If you want food, it's a bit of a walk to some nearby restaurants. They have another restaurant at a very nice location that we went to where the food was very good. Just not in the hotel. Breakfast was nice, and they open at 7:00 a.m. Overall, an average experience.
