Hotel was very very clean, smaller rooms but perfect for a quick stay. We would stay again. My only complaint and everyone is different so this may not bother you. When we went to the main office for breakfast it smelled so bad of incense burning that it was unbearable and we were unable to make food or eat therefore having to pay and eat breakfast at another establishment. It is a small office/food area and it was overpowering to the point where you did not even want to be in there. We had to change into different clothes just from being in there for less than a minute.

I had stayed here a couple years ago and although there was a new motel that was cheaper, I decided to go to Der Ruhe Blatz again because of my first experience. It was deep winter with snow every night and the lot was cleared in a timely manner. When my lock froze in the sub zero F temps the staff was very responsive getting me back into my room. Breakfast was hot and ready. Highly recommend this motel. If you travel with pets, note that there is a nightly fee that is comparable to many motels. The only 4 star rating above was because my sink drained slowly.
