Thanks again Non-NonRev for your reply...
I especially appreciate and I am impressed by your detailed knowledge of the area and your kind reference to the hotel site. I am interested in history and your description of the area has convienced me that I must include Eufurt/Weimar on my agenda for a visit later this year. (Since I am a member of the Accor program, this makes your hotel recommendation most helpful.)
By the way, if I understood correctly The Grand Hotel we are discussing is a Mercure property, correct?
Kindest regards,
