I had originally planned for 2 nights at this property, but due to communication difficulty with the car rental company on off hours pick-up, I ended only staying 1 night at this property.  This property is a faily new property - and seemed to be built based on the European Hilton Garden Inn standard design.  

Location

The property is located actually outside of Munich city centre area, but in a smaller village area where the Messe or Covention centre is located.  There are not much to do around the area - as it's surrounded mainly by office buildings and warehouses. 

The only other option outside of having your own car/taxi is by public transportation which will involve 1-2 transfers.  Therefore not really recommended for those who would want to use this property as base (without a car) to explore Munich.  

At least for now, parking is complimentary (which should be) at the attached parking garage next to the property. 

Check In

I arrived just after 8 pm at the property and the lobby area was actually very busy with lots of guests drinking and eating at the bar and the on-site restaurant.  However since there was no one checking in, I was able to check-in immediately with the sole front desk agent.  He was very friendly and made me feel very welcomed.  I was also thanked for my loyalty as a HHonors elite.

I tried to actually ask if there was any Kings room available - since I could not book this online, but was told sadly it was not available as the hotel was rather full.  I was also informed about breakfast information - which was served at the on-site restaurant. 

Room

The room was located on the 4th floor and although with the twin beds, it was ok in size.  There was a small sofa located close to the windows.  View of the room was just towards the main parking area and parking decks of the hotel.  

As it was becoming a trend, the property too did not have any minibar facility - but it was with the usual coffee/tea making amenities. Other than that, the rest of the furnishing was the usual - basic but functional.  

They did include 2 small bottles of water - one still and one sparkling.  They also left a nice plate of cheesecake as a welcome amenity - which was very welcomed. 

Internet speed was ok, and the TV was large with modern functionalities including streaming options. 

Sleep quality was good - although climate control was not really the best (like a lot of properties in Gemany) it had limited cooling.  In the end I slept with the windown open as this did help to cool down the room - after switching off the airco unit. 

Bathroom size was ok with a walk in shower. I was actually surprised that so far I have not seen one newer property with the new wall mounted toiletries from the Zero range - still providing the older toiletries in individual bottles from Crabtree & Evelyn.

Breakfast

The breakfast area was quite crowded when I arrived at around 9am for breakfast.   The area was large, but it was more or less at full capacity with not too much options for seating - ending up at one of those long shared table.  

Breakfast spread was good - with for the first time seeing a egg cook to order option provided at a HGI property - which was a very nice touch. 

Since the area was small, there were quite a few occasions that it was difficult to reach out for the food due to space issues.  

As for staff, they were ok, although a bit slow in clearing tables - but not too much blame can be put on them with the amount of guests and the need for them to clear dishes but also refill the buffet dishes. 

Overall

All in all, I found this to be a sollid property, the only downside would be = based on purpose of tourism, this property might not be the one if you don't have a car.  Other than that, I would certainly return to the property if I need to be in the area (outside of large events at the Messe which I assume would increase the room price significantly) and if I have a car.
