I usually enjoy staying at Motel One hotels. As a frequent business traveller to Germany, they're…read moreusually well-decorated, comfortable, and reliable. Unfortunately, my most recent stay at Motel One Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (From the 23rd June 2025) was an absolute nightmare due to a bed bug infestation. After going to bed early due to an early flight, I woke up during the night and noticed dark marks on the pillow. When I turned on the main light, I discovered the bed was infested with large bed bugs (I have photos). At first, I wasn't even sure what they were because of their size, and I worried that they could be ticks. It was ~1am when I went to reception who gave me a new room, but no guidance on how to handle the situation or prevent spreading the infestation. I'd already unpacked my suitcase on the bed, had clothes on the floor, and had to pack everything up in the middle of the night, exhausted and worried. I took precautions myself by showering, changing clothes I'd worn in the bed bug bed, and keeping my stuff away from the new bed. The next day, after researching and speaking with colleagues, it became clear they were bed bugs. However, things got worse after I returned home to the UK: - My partner and I both developed new, painful, itchy bites for a couple of weeks afterwards. - We endured sleepless nights and a constant sense of disgust and paranoia for thinking more and more bugs were appearing due to the number of bites that kept appearing. - We had to turn our entire bedroom upside down, wash and steam-clean everything (including hiring a steamer), and I had to dispose of my luggage and clothing from the trip for fear of releasing any more bugs into our home. Despite all of this, Motel One's response has been to deny responsibility. They claim the room was inspected beforehand and that I must have brought the bed bugs in myself - an outrageous and insulting suggestion. It's impossible for a guest to cause a full-blown infestation within a few hours of arrival, especially for the bed bugs to be the size they were. I could've accepted this as an unfortunate one-off incident if Motel One had handled it properly with an apology, accountability, and some form of compensation. Instead, their response has been dismissive and defensive, shifting blame onto me. My warning to future guests: do not stay at this hotel. Clearly, rooms are not properly inspected, and when things go wrong, Motel One will not take responsibility. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, they will try to deflect and blame the customer.

Also, the hotel is within walking distance of nearly everywhere I needed to go in Stuttgart. On the top floor, there was an indoor pool. In summer, I remember swimming laps, then pausing to look out the large windows, at the green hillsides and vineyards. When I returned in 2015 and 2018, the pool was unchanged! It was well-maintained and very clean.

Overall, service was very good during my trip. My room itself was standard but comfortable. I like that you are able to opt out of daily housekeeping in exchange for a drink voucher at their bar. Wish this was more common in the US! The hotel breakfast buffet is also very good. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it gives you everything you need to start your day right. The parking garage has a few narrow areas, which made parking with our seven-seat rental van a little difficult. Shouldn't be a problem if you have a standard sized vehicle.

They staff are polite, helpful and friendly. Rooms are small, in the typical European style. Beds are narrow "single" beds that can be pushed together to form a double. There isn't a lot of space for open suitcases in their standard rooms unless you get a single room (which is a lot like a dorm room) or the larger "suite" which has a couch and a sitting area (also his and hers sinks in the bathroom, a stand-up shower and also a bathtub!). When you check in you are given a hotel "passport" which you show to the desk clerk each time you return to the hotel and they give you back your hotel key. The key is a big heavy metal security key on a heavy key fob so it's not fun to carry around, and this way if you are sharing rooms your roommates know if someone is in the room or not. The elevator is tiny and slow - but at least there is one. Other than checking in and out with my big luggage, I used the stairs every other time because it wasn't worth waiting for the elevator.

This does not bother me at all, since when Europeans come to the USA, they really must speak english. If you think about that it's very true. We asked the girl at the front desk where we may find a gas station and she ran off and got us the luggage cart and stood next to the elevator waiting for us. The parking lot is very tiny here so I am guessing not many guests have a car and a gas station is not close by but we did manage to fill the tank and return the car before moving on to Paris. Except for that funny story all was good. Yes, free breakfast and free wifi with convenient location for the train. - 4 stars recommended.

The room itself is standard Aloft - comes with Bliss items, was a good size, clean. There were sounds of people walking overhead, though it was on the top floor and no rooftop that I knew of.
