Hotel Annaberg - Bad Durkheim, Germany 

We ended up at Hotel Annaberg unexpected and what a pleasant surprise it worked out to be. Good beds, good food and correct friendly staff.

My travel to the area was for work in Ludwigshafen. Having spent time in the corporate hotels in Mannheim - switching to the Hotel Annaberg was a perfect change. The drive to LU is acceptable (20 minutes on the autobahn). Rooms are modern and spacious. The hotel sits in the middle of a vineyard - so evening walks are great. At night it is quiet. Even when it's hot - you stay pretty cool in the rooms. The countryside is beautiful - Bad Duerkheim is a very short drive away. The restaurant on the property is very good. Breakfast is bountiful with a good assortment of breads, fruits, eggs, meat and cheese. Dining at the Annaberg ifor dinner is a treat. The menu is varied and dishes prepared and served creatively. The only negative is the limited internet access. Wireless is available (for free) but reception outside of the main lobby area is weak. Since I was here on business - the internet access was a problem. It just meant I had to sit in the lobby where the staff invariably offered coffee (very nice).
