Excellent Stay Near the Rhine

The location is convenient to the Rhine and Chocolate Museum. It is an easy walk to the city center. I found a great selection at breakfast. The sauna was a pleasant amenity.
I accidentally left a shopping bag containing two perfumes in the hotel reception area. Upon my return the following morning, one perfume was missing. My request to review the security cameras was denied because of hotel policy.
