Definitely in my top three. And the great thing is, they are very reasonable and if you've tossed back a few too many, you can stay the night, literally. They are also a full service hotel. Clean, reasonable, family friendly.. Call ahead for rooms available. Great central location for traveling Europe...or just an extended hike through the Spessart forest.

This Christmas we had a good friend accompany us to my parents, so we put him up here. Although it is located in such a small place, it really has outstanding facilities. The rooms are nicely appointed; there is a wellness center with swimming pool, a large breakfast room, and a great restaurant. It often caters to conventions. The breakfast consists of a large buffet which had a variety of breads, jams, cold cuts, cheeses, fish, and yogurts as well as different styles of eggs. It was even champagne along with other juices. We visited the restaurant one night and I was amazed that the waiter recognized Jack and me from our visit approximately one year ago. I even received a glass of port with my foie gras appetizer. The food is delicious and the service superb. The ambience is a typical rustic elegance.

For dessert I had fried apple cakes with vanilla ice-cream and an assortment of fruits, which was ok (I was not so keen on the oil used in the batter). The ambience is very pleasant and even though this place is a little way out it is well worth a visit. We spent around EUR26 per person, which I'd call good value.

This was some of the best food we had in our two weeks in Europe. We ate on the terrace, which has a very pleasant view of the small valley where the hotel is situated. You can hear the busy road below, so it isn't entirely peaceful but still very nice. Highly recommended and worth the short diversion off the highway to get hear.
