It's my hometown -- I have only stayed there last Dec. for several cheap nights to get up to Diamond status. It seems like a very generic convention type Hyatt -- not bad, but not very good either. As to restuarants go to Karl Ratzches (I may have that spelled wrong but I'm on the road and can't check the phone book) The other famous German restuarnt is Mader's, but I think it's to touristy. The third old great restuarant was John Ernst's Cafe -- it just closed suddenly after 50 years of service. Let me know any other questions.
