We enjoyed our stay. Staff was wonderful, the hotel is beautiful.
Your Restaurant wasn't open for Breakfast but we got a great breakfast across the street, so no worries there. The area is very visitor-friendly in general. We were very close to the concert venue ( Allianz Amph) where we saw Neil Young last night.

The coffee/tea station was lacking variety. The bathroom toliet seat was loose. A/c can only be turned down to 68. I know you are in the middle of renovations and maybe these items are being addressed.
