Staff was friendly in an efficient sense. However, we were directed to parking (paid) that was inconvenient for moving our luggage on a luggage cart over a long path with gravel and grass (we are in our 70s) and no one thought to offer help.

Mir fehlte der Zimmerkühlschrank! Die Dusche könnte etwas mehr Druck vertragen. Das Frühstück war gut und ließ nur wenig Wünsche offen. Die Innenstadt von Essen ist nicht schön. Gute Lokale sind eher außerhalb. Das Bett war ausreichend breit. Ganz toll ist die Möglichkeit sein e-bike abzustellen und Wieder aufzuladen. Der e-bike Schuppen war sehr groß.
