All rooms are aged and worn. As of October 2013, the rooms still have CRT televisions with their 'Welcome screen' burned into the display. The carpets and furniture are clean and cared for, but definitely well-used. Don't get me wrong, the property is extremely clean and the staff is personable, but it truly feels outdated.

Anyway, regardless the issues above are small and for the Sindelfingen area, it's hard to find a better hotel in that immediate area. But if you have no reason to be near there, I wouldn't recommend the property.
Last time I was there was over the Christmas-New Year's week, and the lounge was closed -- I was told for renovations -- and we got free drinks and food at the lobby bar. It'll be interesting to see the result next time I'm there, which will probably be next month if my schedule holds up.
