It was ok, reasonably affordable in Frankfurt. I didn't like having to fill in my details 4 times. 1) booking, 2) follow up questionnaire, 3) on arrival (surely the purpose of the follow up questionnaire) and then 4) to book in to make a separate booking for car parking. Car parking very very tight in an estate car, but good to have had the option to park securely off street.

Checkin could be better. Already checked in online previous evening but still had to call when tried to do it in the automatic checking screen. Got the key to the room but room was not ready. Minor incovenience as the cleaning ladys were very nice and cleaned the room in 15 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised on cleanliness of the room and has basic items for your needs. Note that rooms are very small, even if I booked the comfort room which was a bit bigger than the cheapest. No AC and small room gets very warm in the summer. Luckily there was a small fan provided. Good for solo traveller and will come again.
