Hotel terme a Garmisch-Partenkirchen

We recently stayed here for 4 nights, as Accor members, during a short break in Garmisch. We found the location ideal - it's not right in the centre of the town, but there are plenty of local amenities and places to eat. The main train station is around a 15 min walk, but there are buses too, if needed. Best Points: Excellent and easy parking. Costs 8€ a day, which isn't bad at all. The breakfast staff were all an absolute joy! We're not morning people, so getting up to make the end of breakfast before 1030h is hard, but they were cheerful and welcoming, and moreover seem to work well as a team. Well done! The breakfast choice was good. It actually expanded during the week. I don't usually eat meat outside of my home, but I could if I wanted to, as there were several turkey choices, instead of pork which I definitely can't eat. My husband found his salmon was there from day two onwards, so he was happy. We had a suite, because we like room to move. It was little dated, but mostly fine. The bathroom was a bit tight. The not so good: Having lived in Germany for years, we're now resigned to the separate duvets and can make a joke about them (they're just not our style), but for a suite, I would expect at least zip and link beds, instead of actual separate beds pushed together. Not comfortable for us at all. I'm not bothered about AC personally, but I can sort of understand why those who are might find it stuffy on warmer days. The reception staff were hit and miss. I kept checking, as there was a sign saying there were issues with credit card payment. The day before we left, the staff member reassured me that it wouldn't be an issue, as my card was on file and they could process it online. Good, no need to get cash then. Sadly, when we left, a different staff member had me try two different cards, both of which failed (as predicted) before processing the payment online, which went through straight away. With a queue building up behind me, this was somewhat awkward, to say the least. The bar is very quiet in the evening! We took our drinks to our room as it was just too quiet. A couple of times, the cleaners entered the room, with only a perfunctory knock, despite our use of the 'don't disturb' sign. Overall: We will stay here again, as we feel we know how to navigate the area well, and really, for the convenience of parking and such, it's a solid choice of hotel. Hope they can reconsider the beds though! The location and the breakfast crew and breakfast choice are definite plus points.
